how many times have you failed?

I started trying to make money online few years ago and have failed more times than I can remember to be honest. Usually after failing, I get dejected for a few months before I come back and try again. I had rather fail and learn from my mistakes than never try at all.

I started in 2013 when I was searching for alternative to earn money online.
I finished college in 2010, started working as a freelancer in 2011 and I earned the average salary in my country. I wanted to earn more to live a better life so I sarted to launch websites in 2013. I failed miserably so many times that I don't count them anymore.
Failing is not what matters.
What matters is how often you raise and dust yourself up ready to go even further with what you learned from your last failure.
 
First three startups of mine have failed, fourth one initially succeeded and failed later. Now I'm on my fifth attempt.

I believe life is all about failures and success until death and unless you're dead there is always hope.
 
Failure is a key part of life. Look how many times we fail when learning to sit, stand and walk. I have failed so much I don''t even think about it anymore. I don't fear it anymore. I just go with it and learn from the failures & mistakes.
 
If many was a number, it'd be exactly the number of times I have failed.
Even after the most successful year in my life, I failed.
But looking at where I am, allows me to appreciate how I can fail more times than I succeed and still live a fulfilling life.
Failure is a lesson that can help yield a lot of success.
As many here have said, it's not the number of times I've failed that matter, but the many times I've refused to give up.
 
I keep embracing failure, and trying new silly things. By doing that I already found great success too.

As Einstein said:
“Failure is success in progress”
 
Lost count of it.

Seems every time I get up, l just slide down. Then I have to find new way to get back up.

Consider it like cycling. You need to keep peddling to be in balance, If you dont you lose balance.

I do know for some who are very fortunate in terms of success. But not me.

Never use that "F" word lol... But serioulsy, it's bad for the psyche, even when used in an ultimatly "positive" intended implication - the word itself permeates the psyche - You didn't fail - you successfully assessed which strategies do and do not work - and succeeded in weeding out the less effective strategies early on, enabling you - now that you are more "seasoned" to focus on the methods that *do* work - and be more effective at them than you would have been had you been using them when you first started!

There is a silver lining everywhere - I promise :-)
 
A lot but diden't lose a lot of money cuz i made more to cover the loss
 
Instead of FEARING FAILURE or being EMBARRASSED by it, more people should learn to focus instead on FAILING QUICKLY and efficiently.

Failure leads to important lessons WE NEED to learn.

Instead of looking at things in terms of FAILURE VS SUCCESS, we should focus instead on LEARNING AND EARNING.

Success = earning

Missing the mark = learning
 
We should rephrase this as
"How many times have you LEARNED from an Unwanted outcome?"
 
at least a billion times and i am still failing up to this day
what keeps me going i dont even know
but if i was forced to throw a wild guess it is only because i want to make my parents happy and my haters mad
 
I don't know if I personally look at failure like most people.

My 2 cents is that at the end of the day, half the things we do are kind of like an experiment. You're not so much interested in whether it fails or succeeds, but the result itself. What happened? Why did it happen? What if I do this instead, etc..

At the end of the day, you get the result. How you interpret it, what you choose to do with it...well that gives it it's identity - failure or whatever else you make it.
