How Do You Handle Failure?

One thing that I find often seems to stop people in their tracks is the failure to meet short term goals. One thing that can make all the difference between if you are successful or not is how you view your own failures. Realistically, if you have never failed to meet a goal then you probably have not set very many of them, or you have never set them high enough to really challenge yourself.


I would ask you though, when failure comes, how do you take it. Is it so disappointing that you loose your enthusiasm for you business and don't try as hard the next month. Or do you view it as a direct challenge to yourself that must be overcome whatever the cost?

Unfortunately most get discouraged and don't try as hard the next time, then when they don't meet the goal again they try even less until eventually they just give up. That's why most never make it. The winners are those who view failure almost as a personal insult or a challenge that they must beat almost as if they have to prove to themselves that they are stonger than the challenge that stumped them the last time.
