Too often, we are so rigid that the stars have to align perfectly for us to take action. We really do learn when we take action...even when we fail.

I definately know you have to take chances and risks, we have all heard the story of the Bill Gates and how he dropped out of college to start Microsoft. However, remember there are probably millions of other drop-outs who are working at fast food restaurants too. I do think you should do what makes you happy and what you can stand. By that I mean if you have a low tolerance for risk, is it really good to go out and start your own business. Maybe, but if it drives you be stressed constantly is that what you want?

With money though sometimes it may not be the best way to learn cause financially it could hurt badly. Sometimes you need to take chances, and the best way to learn is by learning what doesn’t work.

We are only ever a true failure if we fail to try. I have read many stories about successful business owners and they all talk about their many failures that ultimately taught them how to succeed. If they had been afraid to fail, then their businesses would never have existed. I totally agree with your post. We are only ever a true failure if we fail to try.
