A Total Failure...A Greater Success

"Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.

I recently encouraged a member that failing is great...you learn from it and you grow to go on to great successes. Having failed at wholesaling for the past two years, I had a deal in DC (posted in marketplace, now accepting all offers for review) that led to me building a buyers list in less than a week! Such a buyers list can be a great opportunity for me to solidify wholesale deals!!

I say that to say, to those that have failed and failed tremendously, what was your latter success? Did the failure contribute to the success? Thanks again @Engelo Rumora for your original post, and always remember the quote you posted.

Stephanie

“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
Michael Jordan
