I am always amazed at how scared people are to fail. I fail all the time…. or at least what other people would consider to be failures. I would rather call them experiences.
Learning from your failures and trying until you find success is an amazing experience.
People always ask me if I can show them how I learned to make money, program, market, build websites, etc. Here is the secret. I FAILED! And failed a lot.
Whenever I come up with an idea, I start working on it… not planning…not strategizing. Just doing!!
- Look at this blog. I wrote it for years before anyone read it. Many people would call those years a failure.
- With NextPimp, I built a site from the ground up with zero previous programming experience and it never made a dime until years later. Many people would call those years a failure.
- As for the Elite Retreat conference, it took 3 years for me to sell out the event and really become profitable. Many people would call those years a failure.
- With AuctionAds, we failed a lot before we got it right.
- Many people look at Fighters.com and see a site that has not been updated for months and appears to be a failure.
Even look at my life in general. Until I was 30, most people would consider me a failure. I was massively overweight, had tons of credit card debt, and had zero work ethic.
I could go on and on with my “failures”.
I don’t consider these things “failures”. I call them educational experiences – every single one of them.
Some of you know what I am talking about… some of you will find out… and some of you will always be to scared to fail.
What are you doing? Are you “failing” or are you “succeeding” in a “safe” 9-5 job for the rest of your life?

Seems like any comment I can come up with is cliche, so oh well. In my opinion, there is no such thing as failure, unless you don’t keep trying. That is the only way you can fail!
March 16, 2010 at 11:00 pm
Great post! Every successful person out there has failed at one thing or another, persistence is key.

I’ve also failed many times then I would realize what i was doing wrong and then succeed
March 4, 2010 at 10:26 am
You’re right. People should not be afraid to fail.
But the problem comes when you keep failing again and again.
People need to learn from their mistakes. But sometimes, the mistakes are almost impossible to spot.
What you say is absolutely true but I think you will be the first to admit: a little simplistic a description of the situation.

Failure can be measured by many aspects of one life. However; who’s doing the measuring.Usually yourself…
March 2, 2010 at 1:13 pm
It might sound “cliche,” but what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, and also if you don’t fail you’ll never learn. Life and work are lifetime learning experiences, you HAVE to fail to learn how to succeed.

I saw a video recently including a 3 step plan to becoming an internet guru.
Step 1 – Fail and fail and fail
Step 2 – Stumble across something that works.
Step 3 – Charge people money to tell them about it. (But don’t mention step 1).
It would be nice to hear more gurus saying that it’s not about having the right ’system’.
It’s about staying in the game until you win.

Eddison failed over 10,000 times before he had a working lightbulb. I think the trick is knowing when to quit, not continuing on a project that you can and will never succeed at.
February 18, 2010 at 5:24 am
No doubt about it Jeremy failiure is the start of success. I have failed more times than I have suceeded but the successes more than pay for the failures.
February 17, 2010 at 5:07 pm
This is such a great post Jeremy, it has inspired me to believe in myself more. I think it all has to do with the right mindset, I don’t believe in failures either, I’ve only been trying for 5 months but I’m not giving up. Thanks for the post.

This is a great post you have written. Having this information will prove to be very useful going forward. Thanks.

You will never succeed until you try, and if you’re afraid to fail, then there is no hope to succeed

Dreaming making money drag one to do many thing in life which is never expected. I think everyone fears failure at some point but that doesn’t mean stop dreaming and doing what you got to do.
February 14, 2010 at 12:50 pm
Just because you “fail” over and over again it doesn’t mean you *are* a failure. It simply means that you successfully proved what will not work. When you have eliminated everything that does not work you will eventually be left with the solution to your problem.

Fear is the central force that either makes it or breaks it for everyone. Ya, there are other psychological factors, but none play such a huge role as fear does on people. What’s really interesting is that once you actually attempt what you’re so affraid of, it often makes you chuckle, because you realize that there was nothing to fear in the first place!

Failure is not terrible, the key is how to deal with their own failure, the next time, you may be successful.

Hey Jeremy, I agree and I disagree.
Right now, I am at least aiming for my dreams instead of sitting nowhere in a dead end job for 10 years (which I already did).
There are great risks and consequences of serious failure. So as long as you can avoid serious failure and going broke, you are OK!
October 17, 2009 at 5:58 pm
Good on you ShoeMoney! I’m of the same opinion – nobodies perfect therefore, you are bound to make mistakes. A smart persons knows that and learns from it.
To answer your questions:
are you “succeeding” in a “safe” 9-5 job = afraid so but it’s only for cashflow purposes.
What are you doing? = building my online empire from the ground up, even though people think its a waste of time!
I would rather die wise than regretful!

Hi Jeremy,
Excellent post, however I am afraid its tone is not very realistic. I think someone else wrote a similar article a while ago “Fail faster for Success”. I think it was Joel Comm. While both the articles are spot-on, I feel that they are written with a distant viewpoint.
For example, you say that failures are steps to success. You know you are right, I know you are right, but how could the average newbie know? Turn back the clock and visit your past, when you were a “failure” as you say-could you have said the same thing to yourself as you are saying now? Now that you ARE successful you have finally realized that one needs to fail to succeed; however, when you have tons of credit card debt and bills to pay off, when collection agencies hound you like wolves, then you are too afraid to fail for you feel that if you fail again you will sink deeper in the murk and your situation would get worse. Yes, you could succeed, but what if…
This “what if” is what keeps newbies from failing. Personally, I used to be scared of failure too but now of course I have learned my lessons. I have been conservative with my expenditure anyway (I still am) so debt has never been a worry for me.
No offense meant. I read everything you write and respect you for the excellent free advice you give; however I feel that this article could have been written better if you could put yourself in the shoes of an average debt-ridden marketer. I am fortunate that I don’t have debts to pay off, but many of my friends do have piles of credit card debts and mortgages, and I know what they go through!
Thanks anyway!

Absolutely, absolutely, absolutely. If you can’t fail you can’t succeed. As I recall Edison took some 10000 goes to design the light bulb. If he couldn’t fail it would never have happened
September 6, 2009 at 2:58 pm
I personally think that fear of failure is the best thing. I am a successful business women and fear of failure has always been the driving force behind my success. If it wasn’t for fear of failure I wouldn’t be half the lady that I am today.

This is just so right. Even though I don’t make much money just yet, but at least I’m now going towards my goals and success.
You words “not planning…not strategizing. Just doing!!” reminded me a great inspiring book by Richard Branson (his autobiography): “Just do it” the book cover says.
That’s What I do – don’t know how I’m going to exactly get to my destination but I’m just going there
September 16, 2009 at 8:43 pm
Keep going friend. You are right, when you know NOTHING about marketing how can you plan and strategize? You first need to “DO”, then fail, then learn your lessons, then plan to make better from next time.
Failure is inevitable, unless you have deep pockets to hire a mentor. However I did not quite like the tone of the article. It could have been written in a more generous manner!
September 2, 2009 at 8:45 am
You need to fail, so you can appreciate it when you DO succeed.

August 31, 2009 at 10:05 am
I ‘failed’ a few times – for a couple years actually, before I became successful on the internet. I don’t really look at it as failing thoug – I look at it as “Keep trying till you find something that actually works.”
August 28, 2009 at 2:05 pm
you are not a total failure in my opinion
August 27, 2009 at 11:21 am
Great post. Expect some attempts at various endeavors to fail. Even famous inventors such as Edison failed hundreds and sometimes thousands of times before achieving success.
I never fail. I just find out what doesn’t work.
August 26, 2009 at 6:55 am
Failure, more than anything else, is a state of mind.
You are only defeated if you think that you are.
Your attitude towards a certain situation determines whether or not you have failed yourself.
August 24, 2009 at 8:01 pm
Every failure needs to be a learning experience, If you do not learn from each failure, you will keep doing the same thing.

The only failures out there are the people who don’t try again if something doesn’t go exactly as planned. With most great success there is risk involved.

July 23, 2009 at 7:58 pm
Success is not only measured in dollars. And it takes time to build your reputation. There is always going to be a market for people who over deliver value to customers which takes time to develop. And the short sighted can only see dollars signs… the real money comes from the backend clients who return over and over. So who cares if you throw some money out the window as long as you can see “Big Picture”. Failure is a building block to success.
July 8, 2009 at 5:59 am
Yep, failure sure teaches you a few lessons!
July 7, 2009 at 3:27 pm
I don’t agree. Life just gets worse and worse until you die.
Sure you’ll fail and fail lots. My WHOLE life is a failure. I’m 40 and SO tired of picking myself up again only to fail once again.
The dream is a lie and death is the only salvation.
July 5, 2009 at 10:08 pm
I don’t believe that we should take failure as a way to bring down ourselves. Failures should help us learn and improve. If I am a failure now, it doesn’t mean that I won’t be able to succeed.

There is a great story called 30feet from gold where 2 guys gave up their gold mine for a song to a guy who found millions of dollars in gold just 30 feet away.
If you want to make it as anything in this life you are going to screw up and make mistakes.
Can you learn from them and make your next attempt even better?
Its not how hard you hit its getting back up after life has knocked you down that matters.

Failing is good but really. How much failing can you afford? How long can you last before you make any money? If you have a job keep it until you start making money. Yeah you’ll have less time to work on your IM business but you’ll have a means to pay for your start up.Long Island Basements

I can totally relate to what you are feeling. I go through the same thing at my day job: i work hard, I do my best, I get negative reviews, I try to improve, I get the same negative feedback. It’s hard to know how to please people who are so negative.
Every day, I do something to advance my own, tiny little business, so that one day I can give the corporate world a big, red “F” and move on with my own Work.

I some feel like giving up.
At age 22 I had a new boss who told me she saw nothing that I was doing for four years. She also told me that we would be the two people in the department with a degree. Memo was the order of the day and I had to leave the job.
Leaving was good as I did another degree and was able to fight on my own. The journey was never easy as my friends at work would help me and then use it against me.
My biggest problem is after years I am facing the same problem as I seem to be either very out spoken or very quiet.
My group is merging and I asked some very strong and respectful question and now it is used against me.
I don’t know what to do.
April 19, 2009 at 12:11 am

In all honesty Shoe, I welcome failures as tough as it may be.
Right now, I think that I can neither classify myself as a failure. I’m in this transitional phase that to be frank, sucks!
I’m 1 year away from getting my master’s degree. I do have a job, though it’s not something I ever wanted to do, and I HATE it… but it pays the bills, which I need.
I will say, I do have a beautiful and amazing wife, so I am a success on that end, and we do have a child on the way, which I consider to be a success.
I guess my start up business a few years ago can be considered a failure, as although it generated some money, it never was worth the amount of time invested.
March 11, 2009 at 10:25 am
Failing big time right now to match my full-time salary from a year ago but I’m not bankrupt (yet) and each month is better than the last. More importantly, I’m learning a ton through my experience that I simply wouldn’t have picked up repeating mundane tasks in some cubicle. On top of that, I enjoy what I’m doing. If I can continue down this month and make just enough to live a decent life, that’ll be enough for me.
It’s easily one of the biggest risks I’ve ever taken and I may end up flat broke but it’s much better than being stuck in a box all day.
March 10, 2009 at 9:46 pm
Everyone’s definition of failure is different. I believe that you fail on the day that you stop trying.
March 9, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I think you hit the nail on the head, Bob. Jeremy is right that failures CAN be learning experiences, but when you’re one step away from being broke, you can’t AFFORD to fail. And that’s why many people fear failing.

I agree with you 110% – failure is a major part of success. Really. And anyone who disagree hasn’t reached success… or else they were just one of the lucky ones that managed to hit to lottery. A big problem a lot of people face is that they are afraid to try anything because they MIGHT fail. This post is great because it really enforces that a failure really can be considered a step towards success…
March 5, 2009 at 5:44 am
Failure is a methodology of success by learning what works and what doesn’t, it takes mind power to stay focus and relearn the whole thing

For example the blog brand scores:

I have been looking for something like this where I can clearly evaluate the brand effectiveness of my blog.

This kinda reminds me of that jordan commercial where he names off his numerous failures before you saw the success.
It’s intresting to look at the perspective of someone we percieve to have always seen success, but the truth is that people are really only tuned to see success.
This post reminds me alot about my own life experiences. Although I’m 20, people seem to think I just KNEW that I was going to make money online and just DID it.
They don’t know the whole story, and very few people want to hear the truth…
ah well, good one.

To succeed requires thousands of failing and falling, it’s an art to bounce back fast and get up again to fight for your success
February 21, 2009 at 7:50 pm
I like your thinking. It’s only a failure if you don’t learn anything from it. If you learn, then as Jack Canfield would say, you are failing forward and forward motion in business is always a good thing.
February 21, 2009 at 4:43 pm
I feel as long as you never really give up, you really never fail… the process in which leads you to success is learning.
February 20, 2009 at 2:04 pm
I really needed that.
Thanks : )
February 19, 2009 at 6:45 pm
It would be cool to hear about “failure” experiences that actually didn’t end up successes later on. Those are more interesting to your regular readers because we all know about the ones that ended up doing well for you.
February 19, 2009 at 3:16 am
It’s not the failure that scared people it’s beating frustration time over time and searching what works and what doesn’t in this business.
February 18, 2009 at 10:27 pm
It’s really a wonderful experience which Jeremy has shared & this is the truth as well. We always fear to fail, actually failures are our best teachers but we are ready to teach lessons from it. …

I agree that failure is an important component to success. If you don’t try new things and learn new things you will likely be doomed to a life of mediocrity.

As you will when your employees (assuming you have any) start failing. Your post needs context. Global failures (or learning experiences I’ll call greed) have put a lot of people on the downside of success.
Sweeping statements don’t cut it Shoe. Not in the real world of business.
February 17, 2009 at 6:35 am
Great Post Shoe. When I was growing up,my first high school coach told me something about life, and it rings true in everything I do:
“Its funny when you coming in first,but you hope that it last, you just hope that you last”.

making money online is no different tan building your business offline, it takes 5 years to established your names in the market.That’s my opinion
February 17, 2009 at 3:55 am
Making a living in online marketing is certainly not the easiest way and those who don´t try hard enough and quit may feel like they failed even though they have learned a lot.
February 16, 2009 at 11:13 pm
Fabulous post! Every opportunity is a learning opportunity.

That’s right entrepreneur is a lonely road…..
February 16, 2009 at 9:05 pm
I like that attitude, nobody ever becomes successful without taking your fair share of failures along the way.
February 16, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Actually…what I should be saying is:
Where do I start if I want to build a website? I know very little html, have dreamweaver but I don’t know a thing about it. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks for all your input.
February 16, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Shoe
Did you use a program for nextpimp or did you do it all with html? Sorry i’m a noob…just trying to get started on something.

I can definitely relate. People always want to throw labels like success and failure. No cares about the behind the scenes struggles and determination it takes to truly reach your goals. They measure you based on where you are today. If you appear to be successful, then they think you’re King Midas(ie. Shoemoney). If you’re barely scraping by and working towards your goals but are not there yet, they come down on you and don’t believe in your potential. Being an entrepreneur is a lonely road. You have to believe in yourself because no one else will. They will all think you’re crazy and should fall in line like everyone else (ie 9-5).
February 15, 2009 at 9:39 pm
This totally rocks. I applaud you for stepping out there.
February 15, 2009 at 9:31 am
So inspiring. It’s just such as a lightning that build awareness.
You just feed the hungry people who need a spirit. GBU
February 15, 2009 at 3:58 am
Failing, failure, and falling all are same, it pumps your adrenalin to fix mistakes and do more study and research, how to suceed and put into practical manner is an attitude we have to do sincerely on daily basis.I am not afraid of failing….i failed too many times in my life./….lol
February 15, 2009 at 2:38 am
Very very very inspiring, this post makes me “woke up”!
Thank You Shoe!
February 15, 2009 at 12:41 am
I’m also a failure jeremy..till now i cannt make any wealth income through internet, but i believe i will..
February 14, 2009 at 11:08 pm
Well if thats the case, then I am failing now aren’t I?
February 14, 2009 at 8:27 pm
I’ve still trying to struggle through “failures” but I’m learning all the time. I consider it time well spent and stay hopeful that I will make it work in time.
Thanks for the words of wisdom Shoe!
February 14, 2009 at 4:04 pm
any one please inform me how can i increase my adsense earning, i am trying my best but i am not getting good response, my daily earning 6 cents, 5 cents. please tell me any tip. my website is, http://futurevisionpk.com
February 14, 2009 at 3:53 pm
True! I have Failed a lot too but these bad thing or times just motivates me!
February 14, 2009 at 11:39 am
I have to agree with that!
Success is built above failure. How much you’ve failed, that’s tha amount of your success.
February 14, 2009 at 2:58 am
Poor fellow.
Don’t worry Shoe.
Eventually you’ll make it.
(that was a joke… perhaps failed one…)
February 14, 2009 at 12:26 am
Failing is a part of life. You dont fail, you find other ways of not doing that thing that way :p
February 13, 2009 at 11:52 pm
As long as you “fail forward” you are good to go baby!
February 13, 2009 at 10:46 pm
That post rang so true with me. It’s like you was writing about how I feel or felt sometimes. One thing I can say to those who are reading this post. If you don’t start doing what you really want to do, you will never know if you will fail or not.
Stanley Amazan
February 13, 2009 at 9:20 pm
Inspiring story Shoe, motivate me as well.Great work…..how does the feeling during those days….when not making any dime?
February 13, 2009 at 5:53 pm
Is playing it safe failing? I have played it safe for 11years with my career and it has gotten me nowhere. Now I’m trying something new and have a huge chance of failing, but who cares. The excitement I am getting form trying something new is priceless. I feel like I am living not failing.
February 13, 2009 at 5:37 pm
You’re not failing because you have the money to invest while others do not. Yes, we can take a risk, but we can lose all while you do not
February 13, 2009 at 5:22 pm
If you’re scared to fail, then you’ve already failed.
We succeed only through our failures.
good post Mr Shoemoney.
February 13, 2009 at 4:30 pm
Jeremy,
Great Post!
Failure = Success
.
I know there is 1000’s of things I do that don’t work out for me, but sooner or later I just boom run into the needle in the haystack that generates some good revenue for a long time
.
February 13, 2009 at 1:48 pm
This is a good reminder for all of us. I think entrepreneurs, especially need to remember to execute regularly bypassing that fear ’stop sign.’
February 13, 2009 at 11:21 am
Every business is a learning process that has to go through a series of growing pains. If you are not ready for those learning years you shouldn’t start a business.
February 13, 2009 at 9:55 am
I agree, you have to stay with it. Persistence is one key. I almost gave up many times, stayed focused, then low and behold-success!
February 13, 2009 at 9:33 am
I have to agree with most of the comments here. This was a great post Jeremy. Puts a lot of things into perspective for people just starting out. I’ve heard many entrepreneurs say they fail a lot, but they don’t give up and keep trying new things.
February 13, 2009 at 9:28 am
I plan to work a 9-5 job for a couple of years after I get done with college. Then in those years I want to work on my own blog and maybe even an ebay store or something. Then from there I don’t know.
February 13, 2009 at 9:21 am
Jeremy two words; Thank you.
February 13, 2009 at 9:19 am
As always, thanks for sharing Shoe.
Everyone has to realize, it isn’t the idea, it is the execution of the idea. Some will fail to take hold, but if you can stick with it and find a way to execute in segment, you can have your success.
I have a favorite saying with regard to the stock market that can also apply to startups from serial entrepreneurs like Shoe.
———————————————————–
I am never wrong, I am just late or early!
———————————————————–
I think Shoe’s paintball gas station idea is right for another time. Perhaps it might have to be a time when Mad Max is around, but a great idea. Jeremy, how about marshmallow guns?
You are never wrong, you are just late or early. Keep that saying in your head and stick to your plan. Revise as necessary.
Good luck all!
February 13, 2009 at 6:55 am
Really good article, i think people like them have taken 2-4 years it will take 10 years to me to do it lol
February 13, 2009 at 4:57 am

http://www.shoppingads.com aka AuctionAds is currently closed. Are you aware of any other advertising platform that offers eBay ads besides a widgetbucks?
Thanks.
February 13, 2009 at 3:23 am
Bob have you seen seomoz? the comments on that site are sickening – total circle jerk.
February 14, 2009 at 3:39 am
LOL no, I’ll have to check that out…
February 13, 2009 at 3:13 am
Why does everyone on the Internet have to agree with every single post on popular blogs like this.
I’m could be wrong, but I don’t think Shoemoney minds if you disagree with him once in awhile! C’mon people! Get your balls on the table LOL
February 13, 2009 at 7:03 am
Yeah quite agree but I do not think that Jeremy have told anything wrong at here. Yeah there are some links in this post but theme is absolutely right and I am sure you also feel that as well …
March 8, 2009 at 8:37 pm
SO where it is your link to you? Seems there is none
February 13, 2009 at 2:28 am
Hey Jeremy, cool post. You’re right, we should never digg our own grave by keep remembering our failures. Instead, we remember them as a lesson so in the future we will get success. Michael Dell also went bankrupt several times before he became like what he is today.
February 13, 2009 at 1:46 am
I dont agree with this post — a failure is when somthing dosnt work! You cannot say somthing is a failure because it takes time for an idea to develop.
If you buy a lotto ticket, and win — you dont count the time before you won a failure!! It’s only if you had lost at the end, and lost your $1 with no benefits.
You didnt start Elite Retreat expect it to start making money stright away — you KNEW it would take time to get going. Its all predicted times without benefits. Like how youtube isnt/wasnt making money.
If “Many people would call those years a failure.” — they are just idiots.
I would like to know how many of those ideas you just left for dead for months before picking them back up again? Get atleast somthing going on fighters
February 13, 2009 at 9:28 am
Ultimately, they are not failures but they were failures for a long period of his life – if you would’ve met Jeremy back then during the times he was trying to pick these projects off the floor – what would you have said? This guy is wasting his time right? – but it was his persistence to overcome those failures that led him to where he is today – it all depends how you look at it but those were failures (at one point) that turned to success…..failures are just stones that we trip on but when we truly fail is when we give up….i’m rambling but you guys get my point, right? lol
February 13, 2009 at 1:22 am
I have been “experiencing” life for a long time now. lol But I will never give up. I will keep doing what I am doing and in a couple of years be good to go.
Keep it up Shoe your doing great!
February 13, 2009 at 1:01 am
Completely agree with u jeremy..
i have too failed. sure i will go further what u said.
February 13, 2009 at 12:18 am
I believe I am also has experienced many failure in my life,I am sure what you saying about “learn from the pain ” is what make people learnt faster and better for there life chance a head,However thank for the share shoe,what you tell me here,make me ,energize more to do what I do ,in which today I am sure is inside that “Failure phase”with a signal of my yahoo and google link popularity that I dont know somehow it is decreasing and decreasing
February 13, 2009 at 12:11 am
As a matter of fact, I look at you today and think about the example you’re leaving for your kids – about how you are hanging out at conferences with half dressed women hanging all over you and totally disrespecting your wife and the only thing I think is – what a failure. So to me – I agree on that point – you’re a complete failure. So, you make some money – who gives a shit. Everyone else is looking and going “How does this woman live with such a loser?” I know – you’ll respond just like Howard Stern – “It’s all part of my schtick”. Whatever. You’re a loser.
February 12, 2009 at 11:18 pm
I don’t believe in failures. If you make an effort towards something its always a learning experience. I’m a big “Learning Experience Junkie” if you learn something from you’re ventures you never truly fail. Although I do think “learning from you’re experiences mistakes and misfortunes” is a great way to better yourself and understand how to improve whatever you’re doing.
February 12, 2009 at 10:45 pm
I bet it becomes easier for a spouse to accept “failures” after one really succeeds.
Thanks for the motivating post!
February 12, 2009 at 10:38 pm
I fear failure because right now I’m a hair away from being broke and getting pretty damn worried about how I will pay my bills. I wish I could control my fears better but I’m feeling pretty down and the dumps and depressed lately. I know… boo hoo hoo and everyone hopes I die.
February 13, 2009 at 12:23 am
Bob,
Cheer up Bro. I am there as well. KEEP pushing forward. No matter what.
I am learning about Internet Marketing and I am late to the game, under capitalize due to closing down a prior business and starting over from scratch on the brink of bankruptcy. I am trying to finish up some awesome world changing products, surround myself with a dependable team, learn AND launch everything the RIGHT way and get things out the door before everything collapses around me.
I am staking everything on this and if it fails…I will file bankruptcy, move into a friends basement with a bed, laptop, broadband and…do it again.
If I lose everything, as long as I have breath and a brain I can get up. YOU can get up.
Learn from failures and false starts. Find and follow mentors (like shoemoney) and forge ahead. In the midst of the dumps and depression don’t succumb to the death of defeat.
Heed the words of Churchill when looking into the eye of the storm of war -
“this is the lesson: never give in, never give in, never, never, never, never…in nothing, great or small, large or petty – never give in…”
See you on the other side Bob.
Pete
oh – good post shoe
February 13, 2009 at 2:48 am
I think you hit the nail on the head, Bob. Jeremy is right that failures CAN be learning experiences, but when you’re one step away from being broke, you can’t AFFORD to fail. And that’s why many people fear failing.

I use a shotgun affect. Being that urls and web hosting is so cheap to start a website I throw a ton of crap at the wall with the hope one may stick. It’s the one that sticks that will pay you back 10 fold.
I am so use to the failures I just look back at them and laugh. Some failures I wonder why they did not succeed and sometimes am amazed at why my successes worked.
That’s the zany internet world for you.
February 12, 2009 at 9:58 pm
failure is nothing but part of a learning curve…so many business ideas develop to a certain stage before falling apart at which point we head back to the drawing board…if you can take some lesson from those “failures” and implement them into a more successful venture, then its not really a failure.
February 12, 2009 at 8:12 pm
If you fail 1,000 times before you succeed, are you still a success? Stupid questions, right?
February 14, 2009 at 10:03 pm
Yes. I still call it a success
March 8, 2009 at 8:41 pm
Yes it is. Thomas Alva Edison Light bulb invention took him about 2000 times steps in order to succeed.
February 12, 2009 at 8:07 pm
I would like to add:
“An arrow can be shot only by pulling it back. So when you feel like life is dragging you back, relax… It only means that GOD is going to launch you into something BIG!”
I think the real secret of your success is never give up.
February 12, 2009 at 7:31 pm
I think shoemoney was ahead of its time.. like anything else, it got a good start and has now been around for a while. Most all businesses go through ups and downs.. trial and error.. but once you make it.. you make it! good luck to all you guys..
February 12, 2009 at 7:31 pm
Great post. I too have failed many more times than I have succeeded, but with each supposed failure comes more knowledge and experience. One of my favourite quotes comes from Thomas Edison “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
February 12, 2009 at 7:27 pm
I like to refer to it as “Failing Forward”
February 12, 2009 at 5:42 pm
Its good to see that you considered the failures learning experience and never gave up. Now you are not a failue
February 12, 2009 at 5:37 pm
If you have the money to Fail then BRING IT ON IN SPADES because you learn through trying even if you fail.
Unfortunately if you don’t have the money to recover from a failure sometimes kids go hungry, you can’t fail when you have a family.
This post is great for the single person!
February 12, 2009 at 5:25 pm
You have to fail to succeed. If you succeed first, you were probably lucky and didn’t really learn much.
I went to a local group that was mostly people looking for an easy way to make money rather than work for it. I offered to tell everyone about my failures and what I learned and to help them.
I don’t think they got it. Better for my time anyway.
February 12, 2009 at 5:15 pm
Fail on!
February 12, 2009 at 5:11 pm
Great courageous thing to say. This is a great source of inspiration. May your words affect lots and lots of people.
Keep up the good work.
February 12, 2009 at 4:39 pm
I wish I was as big a failure as you Shoe!
February 12, 2009 at 4:28 pm
For sure your post will not fail to have tons of comments. Why? Because honestly most of us are in the “fail, learn, fail, learn, fail, learn” state. Success shall come my friends!
February 12, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I have to say, what you said is so simple it sounds dumb but is one of the most profound things you’ve written. I needed to hear that because I’ve doubted myself a lot in the past, but I know that all my work will pay off and is slowly starting to already. (Also, great comments!)
Be cool!
February 12, 2009 at 3:22 pm

You can’t define failure while you’re failing, it can only be defined properly after you have succeeded.
February 20, 2009 at 8:09 am
That is so true, you can only look back at it once you have finished failing, in the middle of it you won’t understand why.
February 12, 2009 at 3:13 pm
Love it, Great Post. That is the reality of success. There is 10 years of hard work behind every over night success.

February 12, 2009 at 2:54 pm
Excellent post. This is the kind of thing about which we need to be constantly reminded. A few thoughts:
1. Courage isn’t about living with the absence of fear, it’s about pursuing things IN SPITE of fear.
2. We learn nothing from the things we do right. So, fail FORWARD.
3. I think it was Wayne Gretsky who said: “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.”

February 12, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Failure is some bullshit 9-5 and not living your life.
Bust your ass and take risks. fuck people. it’s not that hard.
February 13, 2009 at 8:39 am
“utilize” is the keyword there. I know dozens of people who have spent tens of thousands on seminars and training, but they just don’t execute. As long as put the things you learn there into action, you should do well. Good luck!
February 12, 2009 at 2:04 pm
Hopefully when I utilize all I learn next week at Elite Retreat, I will be less of a failure.
February 12, 2009 at 1:37 pm
I forgot to add, that in my local currency $1000 is worth ten times that.
February 12, 2009 at 1:36 pm
I love this post. I *totally* get it. What people don’t understand, is why we’re having so much fun failing. They think that lack of immediate results = failure. It’s been 9 months since I decided to start taking blogging seriously. In those 9 months, I’ve made collectively about $1000. The money is now going from ‘dribs and drabs’ to a ’steady trickle’. I know that if I keep going, keep trying, keep plugging away and trying new things, soon that steady trickle will be come a constant flow, and maybe I’ll get a full on flood. Either way, I’m happy to be learning, earning, and having a blast doing it.
February 12, 2009 at 1:33 pm
Great post and very true. After spending many months “thinking” about starting a new blog, I went out and just did it. Since early January, there has been one post per day. Only 3 feed readers but that’s okay. Everything has a beginning and you just need to keep going.
February 12, 2009 at 1:12 pm
Without failures we wouldn’t hit homeruns. To make a baseball analogy the best hitters in baseball “fail” 65% of the time but during those failures they are learning. They learn what the pitcher looks like, they learn what kind of pitches he likes to throw, they learn to time the pticher so next time up at bat they can get a hit or even a home run.
Same with business. Yeah, we might lose money and time on some projects but if we are smart we learn how to succeed the next time.
February 13, 2009 at 8:38 am
nice analogy joe. A batting average of .300 is considered really good.
Although that means that “failure” is 70%. I think what is true measurement of success is consistency. Sure you may strike out, but what do you take back to the next at-bat?
again, nice analogy!
February 12, 2009 at 12:59 pm
“educational experiences”, nicely said!
I believe that the more you fail, the more success you’ll have.
February 12, 2009 at 12:37 pm
Failing faster can work well too. Like a PPC campaign idea, it’s better to try out some ideas and throw away the losers and pick the winners after a short time instead of waiting a lifetime to try one idea.
February 12, 2009 at 12:35 pm
Hats off to you for telling the truth which no one can digest/believe/realize ever.
February 12, 2009 at 12:24 pm
wonderful post… awesome
February 12, 2009 at 12:14 pm
As Einstein says.
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new
keep on making them mistakes/failures, thta’s the only way to true success.
February 12, 2009 at 12:09 pm
You only fail is you don’t learn in the process… So Jeremy, you did not fail you just learned. You have to learn everything in life… how to hit a baseball, how to drive a car, etc… Life is not a failing experience, it is a learning experience
February 12, 2009 at 11:32 pm
Very positive thought … but the real winner always capitalise its learning experience and looser always take it as failing experience … isn’t ?
February 12, 2009 at 12:03 pm
Awesome point. I meet a lot of people running my brand new little business (this is my second try, mind you) and this is the kind of story I tell them. At the ripe young age of 24 I’ve “succeeded” at the 9-5 and it ruined my life. Now I’m barely making ends meet and loving life more than I ever dreamed. I hope more people run head first into their fears to find something that gives them joy in times such as these
PS-thanks for the add on Twitter.
February 12, 2009 at 11:59 am
It was quite an inspirational post. Somehow I could see Seth Godin in your words.
February 12, 2009 at 11:47 am
I do agree that sometimes failures are not from us but it is what people think about us.
If we accept blindly what people say about us, we will be what they think who we are aka a failures.
But, if we do know that those people are simply telling something when they do not have any clue who we are and we know that we can be better, that’s mean it is definitely a sign of achievement.
We can be better in something which have no clue at all. Is that great?
February 12, 2009 at 11:31 am
Great post! Every failure is a step towards success.
February 12, 2009 at 11:23 am
I’m failing because I can’t stop gawking at those hot girls wearing wet Shoemoney t-shirts.
February 12, 2009 at 11:45 am
Funny!
That girl is a little freak. On the podcast she couldn’t stop talking about bear rape.
February 12, 2009 at 11:30 pm
So that means you will keep failing … because I know Jeremy is going to show everyday … new one
February 12, 2009 at 11:22 am
great insight…
Making money and getting where you want to be is for those who “Do”.
Would like to quit “succeeding” at my 9-5 and start “failing” as soon as possible…
February 12, 2009 at 11:20 am
Awesome stuff Shoe. I think this will really hit home for a lot of people. And more and more as people are waking up and realizing that their can be more to just a 9-5.
I started a blog recently called Because I Have a Dream… it’s about overcoming fears and quickly going from start to finish with their dreams.
Fear cripples a lot of people.
February 12, 2009 at 11:17 am
I like this post a lot. In order to succeed you need to fail at some time or another. It’s the only way to learn a valuable lesson. Like Aaliyah sang, “If at first you dont suceed, dust yourself off and try again.”
February 12, 2009 at 11:12 am
I’m also a failure. I have a lead gen business right now with some clients that aren’t making me money until I optimize them. Once I do optimize them I guess I won’t be a failure but until them I am one. But one with clients so I ‘m going to keep failing away.
February 12, 2009 at 11:05 am
Damn… I have failed at more than 80% of the sites I manage! The 20% that are stellar though, more than accomodate the time I lost!
If you DONT FAIL, you aren’t trying hard enough to push the limits!
February 12, 2009 at 10:57 am
Jeremy,
What happened with Fighters? Hire a couple writers and let me write the content. Dude!
February 12, 2009 at 10:55 am
So true. Who you are and where you are in life is the direct sum of the choices you have made.
February 12, 2009 at 10:52 am
Not just a good post, but a great post that got me thinking. I’m doing a lot of failing right now. A lot of things that were working for me, aren’t anymore. But looking at the bright side of things, I’m learning now more than I ever did.
February 12, 2009 at 10:50 am
Great post, Joey.
I think we have failed only when we give up. By some people’s standards I might be considered a loser, if not a failure, but by my own, I’m kicking butt. (You’d have to know my personally and know all I’ve been through.)
I’m working a dead-end job (working on fixing that,) I did not get a degree (hope to fix that one day, when there’s money for it,) and am almost 40 years old while doing these things.
On the other hand, I have started a business, and my products get a lot of positive attention, even though they don’t fly off the shelves (yet.) I feel my day will come.
You are absolutely right: It is the experiences and what we learn from them.
Great blog!
February 12, 2009 at 3:59 pm
JEREMY, I apologize for getting your first name wrong. How embarrassing!
Eh, you’re sharp–you knew what I meant!
February 12, 2009 at 10:50 am
Because you learn from your experiences, you’re failing “up”.
I was fortunate that some years ago in a company far far away, I had a manager who pulled me aside and told me I wasn’t failing enough. By which he meant that I wasn’t taking enough risks – with risks come possible failure, but also huge success. That “permission” to fail most definitely changed my performance at that company, and probably my entire outlook ever after. I started enjoying that job for the first time in over ten years, and within a year I was making almost twice as much in bonuses.
Now that I run my own companies, I hope I can not only keep to that ideal, but also instill it in others I work with. Being an impatient type, I am kinda “failing” at that last part.

Jeremy, this is THE reason why I created Success Circuit! To many people are afraid to fail. Yet how could you possibly succeed if you do not know the reasons why people fail? My biggest failure so far (lonely designs) was what gave me the idea for Success Circuit, and I am so glad I failed that time!

Great post, man. I think fear of failure may be the number one thing holding many people back. It was a long time before I realized that and that so many people wanted to go through life without failing at all. Prepare to fail is one of the most important things that I think we could tell anyone trying to be successful.

Fear of success just as often holds people back. When you don’t know what succeeding feels like, it feels scary and overwhelming.

And if you will be able to tackle that fear than believe me that fear will always push you to do better.

Glad to hear that you have failed too:).
Sometimes it is really frustrating to fail, especially when there are many people bragging about “magic formula” for quick success, I also believe continues effort is the most important factor.

Good post Shoemoney. What is the deal with fighters.com though? Did you guys decided resources are better spent elsewhere a la shoemoney tools?
February 12, 2009 at 10:32 am

I wish it was that easy. Its really not in a position right now for me to openly discussed but its not dead 
February 12, 2009 at 12:01 pm

You do realize the irony in your ignorant comment right. Considering the original post and all.
February 12, 2009 at 3:29 pm
I suspect he’s trying to motivate Jeremy, cos one shouldn’t be that ignorant after ready d post.
February 13, 2009 at 8:35 am
glad to hear that its not dead yet. sometimes you just need to go back to the drawing board.
February 20, 2009 at 8:11 am

Sounds mysterious huh..

Shoe,
Thanks for sharing this. This is one of your more impactful posts, I think. Many folks don’t understand what it takes to be successful. They look at characteristics of successful ppl, and try to emulate.
But it’s the intangible perseverance. Belief. Drive. Purpose. That gets those successful people through the toughest dips, and onto the highest peaks.
Forget all the tactics Shoe has taught you. Take this one to heart.
Persevere.
All other “tactics” are secondary.
Thanks, Shoe.

I am failing at a good rate, but picking up and learning at a faster rate. I am not afraid to fail, I love the oppurtunity to learn from it!

Well getting the success on the death of failure have amazing feelings.
I know because I feel it many times and now I am not afraid of failure any more.

It comes when you finally realize that I don’t have anything to fear…If I do nothing I’ll get nothing anyway, but if I do something it’s better than where I was…
Then you have to stop caring about what other people think. They will fight you when it’s not going good and love you when it is.
They are wishy washy…and you can NEVER be all things to all people. Just be you.
If people like it…great if they don’t that’s ok…
February 12, 2009 at 12:06 pm
I completely agree with you Jeremy
You will never succeed until you try, and if you’re afraid to fail, then there is no hope to succeed
The only way to get a good reward is to take a good risk, and sometimes that means the possibility of failure
February 14, 2009 at 11:10 pm
Well just see them as learning experience!
February 15, 2009 at 6:13 am
I would never call myself a failure… I know things can be gr8 post the gestation period….

The person who overcomes FAILURES is the one who SUCCEEDS. Everyone has to face failure one or the other time in his life. Its a great teacher

when you’re one step away from being broke, you can’t AFFORD to fail. And that’s why many people fear failing.
