Thanks for letting me know you're there. I think a lot of us are going through similar struggles right now. This was actually the inspiration behind my "Lean Growth Blueprint" (which is a work in process).</p><p>Even if you're already an established business to go back to the Business Model Canvas <a href="http://nicheworksmedia.com/strategic-planning/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank" title="http://nicheworksmedia.com/strategic-planning/">http://nicheworksmedia.com/...</a>, and take a look at what you're doing. What's serving you? What's not? What can you stop doing now, and you'll immediately be better off? What can you do better than anyone? Build a value proposition around that.</p><p>I'm hoping to follow my own advice here. Would be happy if you give me an update on your journey!</p>Les ProctorThu, 25 Feb 2016 19:34:52 -0000https://nicheworksmedia.com/failure-is-the-opportunity-to-begin-again/#comment-2535613808<p>Hi Les. Thank you for this: "If you believe in what you’re doing, don’t take failure personally. And certainly don’t give up."<br>It is what I need in this moment of some uncertainty. The quote it's absolutely true. I think what I do with my company now it is not really important anymore. Time to change something in a big way!</p>santiagopardoThu, 25 Feb 2016 18:20:48 -0000https://nicheworksmedia.com/failure-is-the-opportunity-to-begin-again/#comment-2517801769<p>You're kind, Alan. Thank you! Would love to hear more about that... what's the biggest mistake you made, and what did you learn from it, on your path to learning to 'beat the control' like you do?</p>Les ProctorTue, 16 Feb 2016 19:03:17 -0000https://nicheworksmedia.com/failure-is-the-opportunity-to-begin-again/#comment-2517740431<p>As always, you're an inspiration to me, Les. I can only add that I've learned more from my failures than I have from any success. </p>Alan RosenspanTue, 16 Feb 2016 18:19:10 -0000https://nicheworksmedia.com/failure-is-the-opportunity-to-begin-again/#comment-2513885079<p> So true. It's important to keep shipping. People look at successful people and think it's magic... it takes hard work! Thanks for your continuous inspiration, Seth!<br></p>Mark BarnesSun, 14 Feb 2016 19:21:10 -0000https://nicheworksmedia.com/failure-is-the-opportunity-to-begin-again/#comment-2512980069<p>Thanks, Seth!

The work matters.</p>Seth GodinSun, 14 Feb 2016 07:09:04 -0000
