Entrepreneurs: If at first you don't succeed, please try, and try again.

[Arvo Lennart Vercamer]

In order to succeed with your business, you will encounter a few failures. Don't let those failures slow you down or stop you. Look at Thomas Alva Edison - how many "failures" did he encounter inventing the light bulb? Each failure brought him a little closer to his goal; he never gave up. And all along the path, Edison was collecting business, technical and market intelligence on what might work, what could work, and what would not work. In the end, he took all of that accumulated knowledge, managed it well, and voila - it did work.

There are times when a new concept/idea will work wonders, and there may be times when that idea/concept just is not an ideal solution. Sometimes it is hard to say "don't give up" - but that is what every entrepreneur should strive to do. Keep at it; work hard to turn a negative situation into a positive one - or at least neutralize it as best as possible. Invariably, by encountering some type of a setback, you learn a little about yourself and quite a bit about your business in the process.

Go ahead - stare failure in the face and say, ".....you may have set me back a little this time - but next time, I will best you!"
