What I Learned from 3 Embarrassing Business Failures

  1. What I Learned from 3 Embarrassing Business Failures Kent Sanders 11:20

After many years of feeling guilty for my mistakes, I am finally learning to see my failures as stepping-stones to success. Some of my biggest failures over the last two or three years have involved business decisions that didn’t go quite as planned.

Although I wasted a lot of time spinning my wheels, I learned several valuable lessons from these experiences.

In this episode, I’ll share the background of these three business failures, why they failed, what happened when I quit each of them, and what I learned. As I share these, I hope it will be an encouragement to reflect on your own failures and learn from them.
