#9 : If you fail you are more likely to succeed

Like every Monday or Tuesday you receive my email intended for the serial builder who wants to take action.

Fail to succeed

For a long time, I was afraid to start my own business as an independent, solopreneur or freelancer for fear of failing.

I was wrong.

It is by failing that we learn.

I don't want to make an apology for failure.

And I would rather succeed on the first try, that's for sure.

Elon Musk’s example

And I think Elon Musk would have liked his Starship rocket not to explode in mid-air after a few minutes.

Despite this explosion and his certain annoyance (I'm sure).

He prefers to see this failure as a way to do better.

The best way to turn failure into success

I noticed something

At the first failure, many people give up.

Whether it's the content creator for whom the posts don't generate enough views, impressions, or comments.
Whether it's the indie maker who launches a project and makes $0 in sales.
Whether it's the freelancer who sees his first client not renew his contract.
Whether it's the marketer who sees his cold emails not reaching their target.
Often what I see is that when faced with these situations.

The one who is going to give up always tries to compare himself to others.

Don't compare yourself to others

Imagine yourself in a tunnel, your tunnel.

Your failures are as many obstacles to overcome to reach the end of the tunnel.

Use the data from your failures to move forward

For every failure, you must learn from it.

Lessons that should allow you to progress.

If you launch a product, use metrics to track (e.g.: email open rate, number of feedbacks...).

It doesn't matter if you reached your goal.

See the results.

Understand your results;

Interpret, learn.

Don't make the same mistakes again.

Launch, test, iterate... as much as possible

A famous indie maker, Pieter Levels, shared a post a few months ago in which he showed all his projects.

Only 3% had worked.

The others had failed.

Launch it as fast as you can without any questions.

🔥 My hacks: Turn your failure into learning. The faster you launch, the faster you learn.
