What have you learned the most from failure?

- The inability to learn from the mistakes of others has already taken away several years of my life. I do too many actions “for experience”, but my head is not made of iron — if it constantly beats against the wall, then one day I may not get up. - Creating a technological product alone is the same as trying to move a mountain. Either you have to crush rocks for ages and drag them, or you will break yourself at the very beginning of the journey. Startup needs a stable team, and it needs an organized leader. - There is no point in developing an MVP for months — it burns motivation and does not bring money. Rapid testing of hypotheses is the thing we need. Getting out to users as soon as possible and collecting feedback is the highest good. A detailed market research at the stage of the developing of an idea is the best solution that allows to nip 90% of unpromising projects in the bud. - We should not "play" too much with manual labor, especially if there are not enough hands. It quickly becomes a routine, and a routine that does not bring high results kills the desire to do what seemed to be a favorite thing three months ago. - Planning is a thankless task, but I can't find like-minded people without a plan. I've enjoyed inventing startups for too long and disliked building a working business for too long.

1. That your users do not care about the technologies you use. 2. Premature optimization is the root of evil. I built a whole project on the serverless tech that no one used.

If I wanted to use a cliché, I would say that it is a step nearer to whatever destination one would call success, but I think in certain ways – even labelling an endeavour as "failure" or "success" can be a trap that we should avoid. Neither “success” nor “failure” is a destination. If I saw my own mental picture of success as a destination, and upon arrival, I decided to unpack the car after the journey and kick back while I crack open a beer, it's unlikely I'll spend very long in that place I imagine to be "success." This is not at all an admonition to never unpack the car, kick back, and crack open a beer. For a long time, I adopted Ralph Waldo Emerson's definition (which I found on one of the first pages of a Tony Robbins book – Unlimited Power, but that is neither here nor there) as perfectly acceptable. But as I accumulated more wrinkles and continued to observe, I realised that it may have been the perfect definition for a time in the past. These days I see success more as a state-of-mind, an indicator of how we play the cards dealt to us in any specific moment. Do I spend every waking hour in this supposedly blissful state of mind? "No, siree! Most definitely not." We're all alive and that means that we should never be stationary - even when it is in the "success" state of mind. Challenges occur and I sometimes get anxious or irritable or so sad that I'm crying my eyes out. But contentment, success, kindness, and gratitude are always the place that I do my best to veer towards even when current circumstances are challenging. Life is probably more challenging for most people than what it was five years ago. There is more unemployment, poverty, crime, and scams than ever before. Throwing in the towel would be totally understandable. But continuing to show up every day – regardless of whether we had to crawl there, and bringing along our “I choose hope and optimism” badge – that is the true litmus test (in my own admittedly unconventional mind) of inhabiting success. If we manage to do it without turning a blind eye towards people facing worse challenges all around us, and with boundaries in place just healthy enough not to be completely self-obsessed, but yet solid enough to prevent the scamsters from targeting us. If we do that – we are not failing at anything. At least – we’re not failing, yet.

that it is NEVER as bad as it feels in the moment.

1. There is no "failure", there is only experience. 2. One's "failure" is another's extreme "success". 3. "Failure" is a state of mind, not a state of being. 4. Commitment starts and consistency finishes. 5. Ease threatens progress more than hardship. 6. "Success" is romanticized as "failure" demonized. 7. Internal contentment > external expectations. 8. Nobody cares about your W/L like you assume. 9. Perfection is shooting the shot, not scoring. 10. "Failure": things didn't go my way? That's life.

Do not depend on one single service.

Over the years, I have learned this one thing that has completely changed my mindset and how I deal with failures... "there's no such thing as failure, its the feedback we get."

Analyze the mistake you did, and come again tomorrow with a robust plan.

Well for me I learnt that things will always fall back in place if you choose to keep going and if that's not the you are gonna forever that your story in regret!

Failure is a part of life. It is a stepping stone to success. teaches you about yourself and your capabilities. Learning from it is important

My experience shows me that failure is usually a protection and it usually redirects me to a better path.

Two life-changing things: 1. Patience 2. Perseverance

Accept and correct the situation.

Great question. Here's my take from working in a startup: Fall in love with the product, not the team. > It's easy to get swept up in the founders' story, but they may not be around the whole time as you scale. Let your customers tell you what category you’re in. > You can't tell people you're game-changing or innovative... unless you customers tell you. You don’t need to act on everyone’s advice. > Especially if they aren't going to pay your bills. It’s normal to feel like crap most of the time, but celebrate the small wins. > In other words - go in with a growth mindset. Some days it's going to get hard... :)

Acceptance. I learned to accept situation and stay ego-less 😄

Failure Can Be a Great Source of Motivation.

The best strategies and ideas can still fail. If you succeed once and stop, you might soon find yourself out of business or struggling to survive. Successful entrepreneurs face failure, learn from it, and keep moving forward.

From failure, we learn resiliency.

Never get intimidated by your failures. Initially, it looks like a huge deal but as time passes everything gets normal. Retrospect where did things gone wrong and learn from it. Our first PH launch was not impressive but it was our first time so our team did the retrospection, learned from our failure and got back with strong mindset and we were "#1 PRODUCT OF THE DAY".
