Let me introduce you to another podcast I listen to
on a regular basis. Entrepreneur on Fire is a popular new podcast created and
hosted by John Lee Dumas. The format of the show is every day Dumas interviews
an entrepreneur, said entrepreneur gives an intro and answers a set of
questions. The questions range from “Can you tell us about a time when you
failed?” to “what are you excited about for your business?” Due to the daily
interviews of entrepreneurs from various diverse businesses, it is amazing to
hear and compare the different answers to the same questions. This is the
reason I love this podcast – I can listen to it every day or download episodes
to listen them back-to-back. Another reason I love this
podcast is it gives me confirmation on a few things about entrepreneurs:
We all fail in life. When I’ve experienced failure, it made
me feel I was the only person going through my struggle. I felt
embarrassed and unable to trust myself to choose the best for me. Eventually,
I learned to move on by moving on. My philosophy is life will not stop for your
failure. The best way to get through a setback is to come back and go hard.
Surprisingly, I never could relate this experience to many other people. However, hearing day after day each and every interviewed entrepreneur talk about their
failures and the ways they over came it, confirmed that everyone has a setback but we all have the ability to recover.
