If your first startup fails, you are about average. Most entrepreneurs fail on at least one attempt. Investors agree that an entrepreneur who has never failed probably hasn’t pushed the limits. What investors look for is not that you never fail, but that you learn from the failure, maintain a positive attitude, and work with integrity on the next one.

I've deal with many business failures in my time. I'm sure I could deal with more. :)

I can't agree more Martin, failing is certainly part of being a good entrepreneur and if you've never failed before then, you've not really started. There is a saying that goes like this..... IF YOU WANT TO SUCCEED, DOUBLE YOUR FAILURE RATE and, i agree with that. But just as you said, its not all about failing but, the main thing is your ability to learn from the experience. Thanks for sharing this with the bizsugar community.
