What's your strategy for overcoming startup failure and rejection?
By understanding who you are as a founder and identifying what drives you (hint: the core issue you keep coming back to solve) you gain resilience, despite failures along the way. Learn to fail fast. That requires understanding which elements of what you launch are features and benefits and which are part of your brand’s DNA. Stay curious and receptive to feedback. And most importantly, remember periods of rest and reflection are vital to your growth. Build in new ways, with new people and express your gratitude often. Communicate your observations, your needs and your perspective to invite people in to your journey and you’ll build an incredible network of support. That’s success.
