| At least he tried - and something can be salvaged out of it. |
The future is always uncertain and business is about taking
the chance that things will work out.
And some of the time things will not work out. Most ideas,
if you are lucky, break even. The worst cost you a lot, and the best make you
a good profit.
Most of us out there in business are actually just contracting
ourselves by the hour. You are being paid better than if you were an employee,
with the risk that there are times when you don’t get work.
When you start selling products and/or have employees then
you are starting to take a gamble – but a calculated one.
On a personal level I have learned more about marketing and
my own attitudes to marketing and sales through some spectacular failures. If
the product had worked it would have just broken even, as it is I ended up out
of pocket – but not too much.
Remember the old line – “If you get it right 50% of the time
then you are doing better than most.”
Take some chances – that’s where growth comes from.
