I failed again!
Strategies to deal
with failure

2. Dealing with Failure
Introduction
• You've started a company and it goes
belly-up. Or you launched a new
product and not only does it fail to
sell, customers actually hate it. Or
you get fired.
• What happens when you dare to
dream, make that dream real, and
then fail?

3. Dealing with Failure
Main Problem
• Henry Ford used to say: "Failure
is only the opportunity to begin
again more intelligently."
• But no matter how many
Motivational Workshops and self-
help books we have read, when
we fail our initial response is
frustration, pessimism and
sadness.

4. Dealing with Failure
Our Real World – Effects in our Life
• Failure is inevitable and you cannot run
from it and we fear it.
• Failure brings back bad memories.
• There is not a single person on the
face of earth who has not seen failure.
• But most of us look at it as something
which ruins us. We hate failure, don’t
we?

5. Dealing with Failure
Strategy 01 – Find out the reason for failure
• Remember, life is not an easy ride
and failures will come.
• Ask yourself, what did I learn from
this? How can I improve?
• Don’t blame anything or anyone for
it. Just with a calm mind, sit down,
take out a paper and write down your
plus points and minus points.

6. Dealing with Failure
Strategy 02 – Give it another shot
• Learn from your mistakes, try harder
than ever:
• Try again, with more passion, don’t
repeat your mistakes, bigger goals,
and higher determination.
• Give it your 100%. That way, you’ll
know that you gave it your everything,
you gave it your best shot.

7. Dealing with Failure
Strategy 03 – Don´t care what other think
• This, is very important.
• We easily get influenced and
affected by people around us and
what they say about us.
• Remember, this is your life, and what
others say should not matter

8. Dealing with Failure
Strategy 04 – Make a plan
• Plan everything out, your strategies
and your goals.
• And set time limits to them.
• Push yourself and concentrate
• A well structured plan can help you
to be more focused in achieving your
goals.

9. Dealing with Failure
Strategy 05 – Motivate yourself
• Have faith in yourself.
• In times like these, it is very easy to
consider yourself worthless and lose
hope in everything.
• Don’t let that get to you and motivate
yourself.
• Stay around positive people who lift
your spirits.

10. Dealing with Failure
Strategy 06 – Listen to your gut feeling
• Sometimes, failure can also
mean that you’re on the wrong
path.
• It can be an indication that your
success lies somewhere else.
• In such cases, a detour can
save your life!

11. Dealing with Failure
Conclusion
• For most of us, the mere prospect
of failure is a take-no-prisoners
mind game, pushing us to the edge
of an emotional cliff.
• But we need to face failure as an
opportunity to change, realizing that
maybe our own life or business
approach is not providing us the
right outcomes.
