6 Entrepreneurs On How Failure Set Them Up for Success
6 Entrepreneurs On How Failure Set Them Up for Success If theyâd given up when they got knocked down, these top business founders and Advisors in The Oracles wouldnât be the success stories they are today. Here, they share what they learned and explain how failure helped make them better. 1. I learned to choose a job I love. Roland Frasier, Courtesy of The Oracles Early in my career, I started a business valuing other businesses. I was only in it for the money. I had no experience and didnât enjoy the work, but I knew someone making a lot of money this way. I lost thousands on that business, but I learned three lessons that have helped me build over two dozen successful companies since then. First, you have to love what you do; otherwise you wonât dedicate the time and effort necessary to succeed. When things didnât work out quickly, I wasnât willing to go the distance. Second, donât spend money getting ready to be in business. Your first objective should be making a profit. I invested in a brochure and business cards when I should have focused on getting my first sale. Finally, make a specific offer and ask your audience to take a specific action. Experts told me to focus my ads on building awareness instead, but I spent $2,000 without a single bite. â"Roland Frasier, principal of 30 businesses, including War Room Mastermind and Traffic Conversion Summit; host of the âBusiness Lunchâ podcast; connect with Roland on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram 2. I learned to be persistent. Marla Beck, Courtesy of The Oracles Iâve met so many great leaders, and I think what all of them have in common is that theyâre not afraid to go for exactly what they want â" even if they fail. Bluemercury almost ran out of money in our first six months of business. We pushed through, pivoted our business model from e-commerce to retail storefronts, and steadily expanded from one store in Washington, D.C., to almost 200 stores across the U.S. For me, nothing has been easy. Iâve always had to hustle. Iâve always been an aggressive leader and have never been afraid to try something, even if I had the potential to fail. You have to be brave enough to go for what you want and be persistent, even if you get knocked down along the way. â"Marla Beck, co-founder and CEO of Bluemercury, which was acquired by Macyâs for $210 million; creator of M-61 Skincare and Lune+Aster cosmetics 3. I learned the importance of setting goals. Andres Pira, Courtesy of The Oracles My confidence was high when I started my first business, a real estate agency, but I still had a lot to learn. After several months, I started to struggle and had to borrow money to cover my expenses. When I eventually declared bankruptcy and closed the agency, I reflected on the decisions that led me there. My first mistake was acquiring a big office in a remote part of town where no clients would visit, instead of focusing on getting clients first. Most importantly, I stopped setting goals for myself. Failure hardens your spirit and teaches you lessons. Success comes when you soften and apply the lessons. I set new goals and started to visualize and meditate again. Before long, I had a solid base of buyers and investors. Crises enter our lives because we lose focus and inner confidence. Instead of looking inward, we often look for external verification that everything will be all right. This creates additional stress and anxiety that only causes us to lose touch with what we want and confidence in our ability to obtain it. â"Andres Pira, award-winning real estate tycoon, founder and CEO of Blue Horizon Developments, and ForbesBooks author of âHomeless to Billionaire: The 18 Principles of Wealth Attraction and Creating Unlimited Opportunityâ (available on Amazon as hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook); download a FREE chapter at AndresPira.com; follow Andres on Facebook and Instagram 4. I learned to not let investors control my destiny. Brandon Dawson, Courtesy of The Oracles My first business was very successful. I raised over $35 million in private equity, listed it publicly, and hired over 350 employees. Then one day, the private equity group decided to sell the company. They didnât care how hard Iâd worked for seven years to build it. When I refused, they replaced me with a new CEO. It was devastating and made me question everything. I learned that when you use othersâ money, they call the shots. It wasnât actually my business. I vowed to never let someone else control my destiny again. I decided to build a new company â" this time, without raising a penny or giving up any control. Instead, I built Audigy Group with a shared ownership and shared value model. In 12 years I never borrowed a dime, instead using cash flow to fund our growth and giving non-voting shares to our loyal customers. In 2016, we sold the company for $151 million. Losing my first business was agonizing, but it inspired me to build my next business with a system where everyone wins together. â"Brandon Dawson, serial entrepreneur and co-founder and CEO of Cardone Ventures; founder and CEO of Audigy; host of âThe B Dawson Showâ podcast; connect with Brandon on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn 5. I learned that not every great idea will be successful. Michel Falcon, Courtesy of The Oracles Earlier in my career, I built software for the real estate industry. My business failed, but I took a lot from it. I learned that just because an idea seems like a no-brainer doesnât mean the market will agree. You should have an obsessive expectation to win whenever you apply yourself to something. But if you do fail, like everyone has in the past and will in the future, use the opportunity to change your relationship with failure, which is often misguided. I even developed a step-by-step framework to ensure Iâm maximizing the value of my failures. For example, I give myself at least three days before I debrief and try to understand why the failure happened. When the emotional defeat has passed, youâre more clear-minded and logical in your reflection. â"Michel Falcon, entrepreneur and keynote speaker with expertise in customer experience, company culture, and employee engagement; has worked with brands such as McDonaldâs Canada, Electronic Arts, and Lush Cosmetics; author of âPeople-First Cultureâ; connect with Michel on LinkedIn to get a copy of his failure framework, or follow him on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook 6. I learned to look at failure as feedback. Josh Harris, Courtesy of The Oracles When I tried to give new agency owners access to the best technology, I thought the technology would sell itself; but I was wrong. It was painful to watch our students separate into two extreme groups. Some grew seven-figure agencies, while others stayed frozen with only one or two clients. We reviewed all the success stories â" and more importantly, the unsuccessful ones â" to identify what we needed to change. Fast forward to today, and we have one of the most comprehensive agency training programs on the market. Our agency partners can spend their time closing sales while we automate or outsource the rest. They can also start their agencies while working a full-time job, without putting themselves or their families at risk. This speeds up the time it takes to earn time and financial freedom. So far, the results have been incredible â" all because we looked at our failures as feedback and adjusted our path. â"Josh Harris, founder of Agency Growth Secrets; teaches entrepreneurs how to start, grow, and scale marketing agencies that help businesses grow Want to share your insights in a future article?

How To Deal With Getting Promoted Above Your Peers - Work It Daily
How To Deal With Getting Promoted Above Your Peers - Work It Daily Youâve just been promoted! Youâve worked hard, proven yourself, maintained positive relationships with your co-workers (many of whom have become close friends), and you are looking to celebrate. Hmmâ¦who do you invite out for a celebratory night? This could be complicated as several people in your âhang-out crewâ now report to you. Will they be supportive? Jealous? Uncomfortable going out with their new âbossâ? All good questions. How can you easily transition from co-worker to boss while still maintaining your friendships? Related: Career Promotion Advice: How To Move Up Feeling Awkward At first, you may feel awkward and thatâs understandable. If you feel unsettled by the situation, chances are that your co-workers/friends do as well. Since you are now in the position of authority, it is possible that an individual who feels uncomfortable may not approach you directly. Instead, buzz about the obvious topic may be happening and you are being excluded from the conversations. It is important to address this head-on. Schedule one-on-one meetings with your new reports. Youâll be much better able to assess how your promotion is truly perceived if you make the time to connect with people individually and not as a group. In a group, people may not want to express if they have concerns about the new reporting structure or may not raise questions that they feel are applicable to their own scenario. Acknowledge that initially the situation may be awkward and encourage your new reports to express their concerns. Ensuring that there is an open dialogue from the beginning will help to set the stage for positive future communication. Recognize and admit that this is new territory for you and that you anticipate that there will be a shift in the relationship. Let them know your expectation is that the shift will be productive and positive. Donât apologize for your promotion. Youâve probably earned it. While some might question it, you should not. Establish yourself immediately as a confident leader. Setting Boundaries (For Yourself And For Your Staff) Differentiate for yourself personal feelings and supervisory responsibilities. As a co-worker, it may have bothered you that someone else came in late every morning. As a supervisor, âbotherâ may turn into âunacceptable.â Disciplinary conversation should be had AFTER a situation happens while you are in charge. Donât bring up scenarios that happened prior to that point. For example, âI know youâre always 15 minutes late and I want that to stop now that Iâm overseeing you.â vs. âI noticed you came in late three times this week. My expectation is that you will be in on time. Is there something going on that youâd like to discuss? Please let me know and I thank you in advance for addressing this issue.â Off hour calls, texts, and so on. Your work friends may have thought it o.k. to text or call at all hours to complain or shoot the breeze about the office. Set limits and a cut-off. Unless there is an extreme situation, a late night call or text to the boss can wait. If they are texting you the score of the latest game and thatâs o.k., let them know. Establish rules about when âtalking shopâ should stop. Develop an outside network so you have other places to express yourself and vent. Before, you might have turned to a co-worker to gripe or to share a monumental work moment. While team comradery is great and these types of conversations often bond employees, remember that not all problems and not all achievements are appropriate to discuss with your team anymore. Find someone, ideally outside of the company and unrelated to your coworkers to discuss work issues. Mentors are often great people for this purpose. If you donât have one, seek one out. A mentor may also be able to help you navigate through this transition, Moving Forward â" Itâs O.K. To Be The Boss If you are going to be the boss, be an awesome boss! Bruce Tulgan author of Managing Generation X and Not Everyone gets a Trophy states in his Itâs O.K. To Be The Boss Management Workshop, âEverywhere we go, we find that managers and supervisors are too handsâ"offâ¦â So, if youâve been selected to supervise and lead, then just do it! Set clear expectations for your team and hold them accountable. For example, letâs say you assigned a task to âKathyâ that involves weekly reporting and the first deadline comes and goes. When you approach Kathy, she casually says âOh, you know I could never get those stupid reports in on time. Iâll get it over later this weekâ. Sit down with Kathy and explain what you need, why you need it, and when you need it. Then, ask for her input for how to make sure your expectations are met. Donât be afraid to take charge and to step into your more responsible role because of how dynamics might change at work. I can assure you, they WILL change. If you embrace your new position with positive confidence, you will earn respect and dissolve some of the uncertainty that others may feel. Practice what you preach. Maintain the boundaries that you have set and donât assume that others have not set their own personal boundaries, even if they have not communicated them. Unfortunately, some coworkers may no longer want an after work call to go get a bite. You will need to test the waters with these scenarios and figure out what each person needs. Be respectful. You may get turned down sometimes and you donât want to take it personally. Transitioning from co-worker to supervisor can be challenging and is not without obstacles but it doesnât have to be painful. Stay confident, respectful, and listen to your staff. Remind them that you are all still part of a team with common goals. This post was originally published at an earlier date. Disclosure: This post is sponsored by a Work It Daily-approved expert.
