Many people are afraid to fail, so much so that it prevents them from taking action on a business idea or strategy to take their existing business because they are scared to fail.
Do me a favor, run to your kitchen right now and find the ketchup. That’s right, I know this is a little weird but hang in there with me on this one!
Take a look at your ketchup and you most likely have “Heinz Ketchup”. Now, look at the label and you will see the word “Heinz” shown on a small pickle. In fact, they have that pickle on every bottle of ketchup they sell a year (hundreds of millions).
What’s up with that pickle?
Henry John Heinz first started a pickle business and he fell flat on his face and completely failed. Had he given up there would be no Heinz empire that employs 33,000 people and brings in over 10 BILLION dollars per year in revenue.
Heinz took that failure and swore that he would do whatever it took to succeed, he knew he just had to learn from his mistakes and try another idea until he found a way to make it work.
After starting a business and failing, most people would have just hung it up and quit. Don’t ever be that kind of person. Sucess for you could be just around the corner, or two, or three.
If you try something and fail, make it YOUR pickle. Always remember the pickle, don’t give up, find a way to succeed and thrive.
