Is failing always a bad thing?
We’ve all seen the endless reels of videos showing people doing various weird and wonderful things, which inevitably end up going wrong and making their way into a ‘Friday Fails’ showreel. However, leaders, managers and entrepreneurs see failing in a completely different light.
An entrepreneur or successful business owner often sees failing in a completely different light to others. They don’t see failures as a negative, but merely a stepping stone to greater success. This is why you often hear the phrase, ‘fail fast’.
If we are ‘failing fast’, then we are able to learn china rcs data quickly and grow. The two keywords here are LEARN and GROW. The more we learn, the quicker we grow – not only as a person but as a club as well. Importantly, failure is not something we must dwell on; it’s an important milestone in the learning journey. After each failure, it’s important we reflect upon it.
Ask yourself these questions:
What caused the failure?
What could I have done differently?
Was it avoidable? (bear in mind that not all failures are avoidable)
It’s important that we learn something from any failure. Without learning, we will repeat the same mistakes, and stay stuck in the same place with no progress.

Was the marketing as optimised as possible? Did you use traditional methods or digital methods? Were they the right channels to use?
Were you too late in getting the advertising out? Did you give people enough chance to book on?
