Learn to Fail
I just wrote a post on failure as the rite of passage to becoming an entrepreneur.
Then I started thinking more about failure and how failure is a skill. People can learn to fail.
This last weekend Russ and I were snowboarding in Mammoth. He and I both fell a few times, but they weren't bad falls. Mostly because we had learned to fall.
Compare this to when we were learning how to snowboard. Each fall was painful. After a day of snowboarding we could barely walk.
But now, when we fall, we don't even come to a stop. We can pick ourselves up mid-fall and keep going.
In other words, we've learned to fail.
The same can be said for many of our affiliate marketing campaigns.

Indeed,it is true, it's always true. Comments ain't even necessary.
