Identify the exit strategy you plan to make. Do you intend to sell your business in the next 5 years for a large return? Do you intend to stay with the business for several decades and retire? Do you intend to protect the venture as a family business, and pass it down to your children? Depends, I’m not one to plan far into the future (see failure post “go with ebb and flow”) so I cannot definitively state what I would do down the line with my company.

Whelp this post hits home for me… Recently, in the past semester, I’ve failed to get not one, not two, but three interviews each for different things, some including 1 st and 2 nd interviews; failed at staying enrolled at school; failed at paying my bills on time; failed at posting for this class regularly; failed at keeping my family together; failed at keeping my cool under stress; failed at getting jobs/ internships, honestly this list is endless. I guess throughout this painstaking process of abundant failures, I would say I haven’t learned from them yet because it seems to feel like I am still failing at life. Possibly this post came at a very difficult time for me, but I guess I know deep down that giving up isn’t option, nor has it ever been. However, with that said I would like to point out the being flexible and adjusting my own expectations has been the only way to avoid giving up. Reflecting on what I’ve written and experienced, I guess I have lear...
