One of the most important steps in growing your business is to have patience.
You can't get things done if you're constantly frustrated and angry. And that's true whether you're a small business owner or a large corporation.
So how many times do you have to fail in your business before you stop?
It depends on what kind of failure it is and what your goals are for the business. If it's a failure that's cured by some quick, easy fix — like a software update or an ad campaign — then chances are that can be fixed without much hassle. If it's something more substantial, then chances are, it will take more time and effort than expected.
But here's the thing: If you stick with it and keep pushing forward, eventually those failures will become successes.
Think about all the businesses that have succeeded over time — Apple, Google and Facebook come to mind immediately — even though they've faced lots of obstacles along their wapppppproaachy.
However, when you fail, the first time learn how to think and re-strategise, do not dwell on the same approach.
