    Dealing With Failure
    You are not a failure if your project fails. Making mistakes and having failures is a part of life. You can accept them and learn from them or be bitter and give up your dream. Failures are actually your training ground. You can learn valuable lessons from them. If you learn from them, you can make them the stepping stones to your success.
    Studies indicate that entrepreneurs are born, not made. As a serial entrepreneur myself, having worked with dozens of successful entrepreneurs, I can confirm that this is a truism. No two are exactly alike, but they are different from those who fail, or worse, never try.

    I am often asked what makes an entrepreneur. In answering, I use the quote made by Supreme Court Justice Harlan when asked how he defined pornography. “I know it when I see it”. Entrepreneurs have a demeanor that separates them from the herd. They are different. Ready to take risks, fearless, passionate, problem solvers, positive and focused: entrepreneurs are the power that runs the engine of any capitalist economy.

    I have assembled 10 traits that all successful entrepreneurs seem to acquire during their life’s experience. Some are stronger in one area or another, but the basics are covered here and represent qualities and beliefs that are remarkably consistent in successful entrepreneurs.

    Hardened attitudes and dispositions will cut off the ability to innovate, improve and add creativity to an invention or new idea.

    #5 The Glass is always Much More Than Half Full

    Successful entrepreneurs know they have obstacles to overcome. They just get on with it. Negatives are like gnats, to be flicked away.

    #6 Small Ideas Become Big Ideas

    Coca-Cola was not created with a goal of being a mass-market beverage. A pharmacist created the formula for his soda fountain as a tonic.

    The Extraordinary Power of Information in a Downsizing World
    As Chris Crouch stated so well in The Contented Achiever, many companies are experiencing a cutback in workforce, but not in workload!
