Prepare to fail and get on with it

You want to run your own business? Become a pop star? Run the country? Fly to the moon?

Whatever your goals, there will be plenty of people who think you are crazy, people who think you will fail – and you will. You will fail all the way to owning your own business, becoming a pop star, running the country and flying to the moon.

You do not need to worry about what other people think. You do not need to worry about failing, you will fail and it is part and parcel of the journey. Take it.

In 2006 I set up a publishing company despite knowing NOTHING about publishing. I failed lots. Right now I’m running a fast growing media company and I’m still failing. Everyday I fail, lots.

Without failure, you have nothing!
