Do not let failure let you be overcome with emotion. Look at failure as an experiment. Sometimes things do not work for your company and that is ok! Let failure be a tool for success.

INSTANT MBA: When It Comes To Marketing, It's All About Word Of Mouth
Again, I think that this depends on the type of business that you are working on. I think that word of mouth is a huge marketing tool though. We are a commercial roofing company and we have never used any type of marketing other than reputation, and signage on our vehicles. Other than that the way we bid projects helps too, but oftentimes, we are able to negotiate due to our reputation.

While having an unemotional relationship with failure is important to success, I don't think the author chose the right allegory to demonstrate it. Sure, in the sense that each failure eliminates that option from the future selection group, a failure will lead to a greater chance of future success. In reality, each failure brings us valuable lessons on Why we failed, and if we take those to heart we can derive how to succeed from those lessons. Otherwise, We'll just fail in different ways.

This post is all about learning from your mistakes and not letting them get your down. I have failed a lot, in fact all the time. Regardless of doing so I’ve still managed to move forward on anything that was actually worth it. I’ve found that the problem with most people is that they already assume that something can’t be done and give up before they ever try. For instance: have you ever been to some sort of meeting and everyone is standing outside of the room. You ask why there all doing so and they tell you because the door is locked. A lot of times the door isn’t and they all just saw one person standing outside and assumed.

Instant MBA: Have an “Unemotional Relationship with Failure” and You’ll Succeed
I really like the approach this article takes on failure. I honestly believe that beating yourself up over failure only tears you down and has no beneficial qualities unless you are determined and motivated not to fail again. Using short-comings as motivation is an excellent way to breed success, but it is harder to do than one would think. Saying that you try to learn from your mistakes is not nearly enough. You have to truly believe that this kind of learning is the way to succeed.

INSTANT MBA: Have An 'Unemotional Relationship With Failure' And You'll Succeed
This article is dead on. Everything in life will have failures. If you didn't fail then you weren't trying hard enough I believe. I mean your not reaching for the stars by this. No truer word have been spoken than the following in the article. Just as past victories don't ensure future success, past failures also don't ensure future downfalls. It is crucial for those who fail to maximize those shortcomings into lessons that can benefit your company further down the line. Each mistake you make increases the chances of making the right decision the next time around.

INSTANT MBA: Have An 'Unemotional Relationship With Failure' And You'll Succeed
One thing a business person should know that the business will always make its mistake or fail. But is up to the head person to not be scared of making mistakes or failing. A lot of businesses have failed but now are a major corporate and they learn from their failure. And learn not to make that mistake anymore which betters the company in the long run.

I really agree with the saying, "when you make a mistake, you have a better chance of getting it right the next time." Trial and error helps people develop the way they make decisions. People need their mistakes so that they can learn from them.

Part of success is being a failure. Rarely do people succeed on the first try. So it is crucial that we understand that unless we fail we will not learn life's most important lessons. Often we are so afraid of failure that we don even try. You must have a positive attitude and keep the glass is half full approach in order to succeed.

You must realize that failure is always going to happen. You must be positive about this failure though because if you are learning from these failures than you are not really failing.

If at first you do not succeed, try, try again. No one is perfect and we are all going to fail at some point. You should not be discouraged if something does not work out as planned. "Each mistake you make increases the chance of making the right decision the next time around". When a person fails, they should not be let down and become emotional. By being unemotional as the article suggests, is the reason successful people are successful. They try again until they succeed.

I think it is important to look at any failures as a lesson. It is important not to dwell, but instead to learn as much as possible from the outcome. Do not take a failure as a sign to quit while your ahead, but as motivation to get to that final outcome that you want to achieve. Failures teach you what you need to change in the future in order to succeed in the long-run. If you are emotionless towards the failure then you are more likely to be able to use it as an advantage in the future.

We've all heard the old saying, "If at first you don't succeed try, try again." Just because we've all heard it does not mean we all live by it. Thomas Edison would not have the credit for inventing the light bulb if he stopped after his first ninety nine failures. If you feel you have a great idea or plan and it fails the first time, don't stop. If anything you've learned how not to pursue it and have a better idea of how to do it next time.
