From Betsy Mendel, Partner, Awareables
Adages are, as the saying says, a dime a dozen. Look before you leap, all that glitters is not gold, don’t gaze a gift horse in the mouth. They’re catchy, cute, and they contain good advice. The problem is, we don’t always listen. We burn candles at both ends, we count our chickens before they hatch. But here’s an adage of my own that, if I may be so bold, would change entrepreneurship as we know it if everyone took it to heart. Here goes the ace up my sleeve: Failure is certain if you don’t try. I know, it sounds so obvious, so simple, but really, it’s spot on. If you have an idea, a dream, a vision, you have a 100% chance of failure if you don’t give it a shot. 100%! Pretty scary, isn’t it? Think of it this way: If you DO try- 50/50! I’ll take those odds any day. If you want to succeed, you’ve got to get out there and TRY to succeed. Otherwise your cake’s not worth the candle.
