Facebook’s Mark Zuckerberg has shut down products. Aliko Dangote’s Liberty Merchant Bank failed. Amazon’s Jeff Bezos wasted $billions in Amazon Fire. These generation-shaping entrepreneurs failed in some ventures.
And here is the lesson: when we praise innovators as being visionaries, it does not mean that they do not have setbacks. The difference is that they keep fighting, and sooner rather than later, they come up with what markets want.
Indeed, success is not an absence of failure, because success includes failure as part of its components! Persevere and do not be intimidated by the big players; the best will always win, no matter how long.
