<p>In light of my recent post &#8220;<a href="http://a-startup-guy.com/?p=7" >What If You Threw A Party &amp; No One Came</a>&#8220;, <a rel="nofollow" href="http://sethgodin.typepad.com/seths_blog/2008/10/failure-as-an-e.html" >this one from Seth Godin</a> titled &#8220;Failure As An Event&#8221; seems fitting. Give it a read.</p>

It&#8217;s how we learn. Babies crawl clumsily until they get it right. Then they fall many times while learning to walk. It&#8217;s how they master balance and coordination.</p>
<p>Entrepreneurs fail. It&#8217;s a part of the growth process. So don&#8217;t fear failure.</p>
