Rethink failure!

Most of us are probably are familiar with the tale of Thomas Edison failing 10,000 times to invent the lightbulb or how many ever times it was.

Col. Sanders was past retirement age when he first sold his chicken recipe after hundreds of rejections.

As they say, the major difference between successful people and unsuccessful people is that the successful people have failed more often.

Your failures don't have to be expensive or take a long time. Fail fast and fail cheap.

Tom Watson, the founder of IBM said it best: "if you want to double your success rate, double your failure rate."
