Nicely written and inspiring. I like how it shares his failures and how he recovered from them, putting the needle back on the record. I also like it how it defines success to the individual with only comparing to other people for inspiration but not validation.

Thank you very much for the kind words. There are more failures I could have mentioned - failures to properly qualify clients, failures in overbooking, failures in trying to scale up, failures in time management..

But at the risk of running a cliche, if I'm not failing, I'm not learning. And that's all this post is - sharing what I've learned.

Appreciate your kind response :)
