Why You Should Love Failure

A recent post on Inc.com addresses the mindset of young entrepreneurs and the fear many have in starting a business. Even more interesting than the article, were the parallels I found it had to one’s quest for fitness, the fearful undertaking thereof, and the complete shift in mindset from end goal (lose 20lbs., gain 5 lbs. of muscle, etc.) to pure enjoyment of the on-going project itself.
It’s about valuing process over outcomes. In other words, while you most certainly start a business with a big goal in mind, the true value of the entrepreneurial experience comes from what you do every day to achieve that goal. If you love the process and learn from it, then achieving the goal itself almost becomes secondary. In fact, you may discover that your accumulated knowledge can be leveraged more effectively toward an even worthier goal. It’s that laser focus on the process – not obsession with the end goal – that ultimately leads to success. –Entire post can be read here.
