Don't Fear Failure
For many of us our time in school helped to cultivate an unhealthy relationship with failure.
In school everything is black and white, pass or fail and you're suppose to avoid failure like the plague.

That works for taking tests but if you are ever trying to create something new or start your own business you will have to learn not to fear failure but to embrace it as a learning experience.
As the story goes, when Thomas Eddison was creating the light bulb it took him over 2000 attempts to get it right.
Someone asked him about all his failures and he said, "I didn't fail over 2000 times, I discovered over 2000 ways not to build a light bulb."
That is the attitude we need to approach our challenges with, when trying to create a new future for ourselves and our families.
Not that you should seek out failure but embrace it as part of the learning process. When you do it becomes a very good thing.
Fail fast and fail forward and learn as you grow.
