In our pursuit of innovation and excellence at Ninety, we've come to recognize that success is not defined by a flawless track record but by our response to setbacks. Failure, we've learned, is not an obstacle but an opportunity — an essential part of the journey toward achieving our goals. This edition of Ambitious Founder explores the power of embracing failure to fuel growth, foster resilience, and push beyond our limits.
"I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work."
Takeaway: This famous inventor’s approach to failure underscores the importance of perseverance and optimism. Each misstep brings us closer to our solution, highlighting resilience and innovation as key to overcoming challenges.
"It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all — in which case, you fail by default."
Takeaway: This reflection challenges us to embrace risk. The avoidance of setbacks is, in itself, a form of failure. It's through our challenges that we find opportunities for significant growth and development.
