Preparing For Failure

July 6th, 2015 - by Alyssa Shea

If you are preparing to begin a startup, the first thing you should do is prepare for failure.

It’s foolish to think that you won’t meet failure while on the road to success. Instead of dreading it, you should learn to anticipate and embrace it! Tech Cocktail published an article discussing how failure is actually the consequence of success. This is a great way to view mishaps. Check out their ideas on how to prepare:

1. Improve Planning.

Predicting possible failures can help you assess any weaknesses you may have.

2. Boost Your Team’s Confidence.

Once you spot those weak points, ask your team to focus on those areas. Get them involved on fixing these areas and let them in on why you’re emphasizing focus there.

3. Catch Problems Before They Get to Your Customers.

If you anticipate a failure, you may be able to catch it before it reaches your customers.
