For me, I've had one business that didn't so much 'fail' as we (my wife and I) got burned out and sold it. We made our money back and a small profit, but that was about it. It was a LOT of work to say the least.
My other ventures failed due to lack of continued motivation more than anything else. There are two of those. Then there is about 2 or 3 ideas that I had but didn't really follow through with.
Given all of that, I certainly haven't stopped trying or dreaming up new ideas. Things kind of slowed down after we moved to Vegas in April, but we have started up a new web venture at MyDogLovesVegas.com which we started pushing this past weekend. It is a blog community for dog lovers and we plan to expand out to other cities soon as well.
I've been lucky in that I haven't had a business that I invested a lot of financial capital into and have it fail. Most of mine have been time investsments (read: me doing a lot of programming at home...).
In any event I think the most important thing to do is not give up!
