hey makers,
let's talk about a thing we all fear: failure.
it stings, but what if we flipped the script?
consider every misstep a step towards what actually works.
it's not about the mistake, but the pivot, the adjustment.
your ‘failed’ project is not a dead end, it’s a detour.
reflect on what didn't work, learn, iterate, and take the next step.
your next attempt carries the wisdom of past ‘failures’.
and please remember, every pivot gets you closer.
let’s embrace, share, and learn from our detours.
because in the maze of making, every path has value.

you make a great point, at the end of the day everyone fails you just have to keep going

It is never over if you don't accept it💪
I guess I needed this reminder for my ongoing launch anxiety.
A lot of people mistake pivoting to just changing your entire business model.
From product designing to testing, if you're not open to making small pivots in the process, you might end up facing a failure that isn't flexible enough to be shaped into something else.
Failure is a part of success, our ecosystem is still yet to fully adapt to this fact.
