Fact: We could all use an extra dose of motivation from time to time. After all, most entrepreneurs, whether they’re just starting out or have been running an established business for years, have faced failure and are likely to face it again throughout their careers.
It’s during those times, when things haven’t gone according to plan and you’re not sure about what the next step should be, that it helps to take a step back and remember that most great business owners have gone through many ups and downs. And that mistakes and failures can be turned into major successes, as long as you’re ready to learn from them and persevere.
As these 10 quotes show, failure can actually be a great thing, if you know how to make the best of it.
