Yes You Should Love Losing As An Entrepreneur

[ten]

I did a video a while back about why it takes 10 years to succeed as a solopreneur, at least a lot of the time:

I drew from examples of great entrepreneurs who did NOT go from zero to overnight success in 1 year, but took a long journey to get to the top.

And looking back at the ideas in the video, the idea that Gary V shared the other time, that "you should LOVE losing" seems to make sense.

If you love losing, you GOT IT MADE AS AN ENTREPRENEUR, SIMPLE AND PLAIN!!!

When you lose that big deal, and it'd have put your competitor out of business because they got so mad at what happened, you will stick around for the long haul to get more kicks in your teeth, why... BECAUSE YOU LOVE LOSING!

When your cashflow goes bust and you have to lay off the entire team and your creditors are pounding on your door and the tax man wants you in jail, you will stick around to see what happens on the next day, why... BECAUSE YOU LOVE LOSING!

When you survive the 10,000th failure as Thomas Edison did and the journalists, sure enough, are there to make fun and put you down in the annals of history as the biggest loser in the history of the game, you will turn up with a big smile knowing this is exactly how it should be on such an important milestone in your journey, why... you will stick around for the long haul to get more kicks in your teeth, why... BECAUSE YOU LOVE LOSING!

THAT'S WHY!
