What's really important for entrepreneurs is struggle and failure is not just normal, it's the norm. I mean, and struggle are very, very common. Successes are rare. Here's the important thing. Failure and struggle are formative. They teach. They make you become the person that you need to become. Other words, you need to embrace struggle and failure as opposed to, well, you know, I'm no good at this. I should go do something else. No, you should use it as a learning experience because that's really what it is. I had somebody the other day who wrote me an email and he was fired from his CEO job and he's 32 years old. So he was devastated. I'm like, this is just learning. Know, you're 32, you know, you're a baby. So, and he felt much better when I said it. I said, when I was 32, I was nowhere. I'm like, really? I'm like, it takes time, you know, so you need to be patient, you know? And there's some people, you know, Mark Zuckerberg and famous entrepreneurs, they're very successful at a young age. That's not the norm. That should never be your expectation. Those are exceptional situations. So struggle is formative and embrace it rather than I hate my life because I'm not being successful. I mean, being successful is actually, you will realize later on how formative and educational that was. You just can't see it right now. That's really very important advice. When you fail, it's not a signal that you're no good. It just means that you need to learn. And now you are.
