The Importance of Embracing Risks and Failures

Willingness to tolerate risk and handle public embarrassment plays a crucial role in achieving success. Compensation is not given for merely looking good or maintaining a safe route; rather, it is awarded to those ready to face challenges and learn openly in front of others. Individuals who actively participate in their growth journey often inspire admiration from peers, particularly when they demonstrate resilience in the face of setbacks. By embracing failure and stepping outside comfort zones, entrepreneurs can create opportunities for themselves that lead to significant rewards.

Chris and I just had the most nostalgic lunch reminiscing about the jobs, struggles, and insane risks we took to build the lives and businesses we have now. We talk about how I used to wake up at 4 AM to work at drive-thru coffee shops, while he spent winters plowing snow in freezing Wisconsin and even cleaned bar bathrooms at 3 AM just to survive. Looking back, we realized those experiences weren’t just about making ends meet, they were building the risk tolerance we’d later need to succeed. We also share the #1 trait that separates successful entrepreneurs from the rest (hint: it’s not talent, luck, or connections).
