Crazy few weeks and a bit slow to posting these from our quick trip through the Barossa Valley a few weeks ago.

May the Fourth.   One of our nerdier traits is always loving Star Wars things. (Including my Yoda tattoo haha).  Paul gets in the spirit and here are a couple of throwbacks for Star Wars Day

With a number businesses under my belt now, I’ve

With a number businesses under my belt now, I’ve got my fair share of failures that have come with the wins along the way. Here’s a few top tips that Paul and I have learnt over the years.

1. Embrace failure as a learning opportunity: Understand that failure is a natural part of the entrepreneurial journey. It provides valuable lessons that can help you grow and improve. Analyse the reasons behind the failure and use this knowledge to inform your future decisions. As John Kavanagh says (via Mark Bouris in the @optus Business 8 Minutes To Change Your Work Life podcast) “there’s no such thing as failure, there’s win or learn”.

2. Maintain a resilient mindset: Cultivate a growth mindset that embraces challenges and setbacks. Stay optimistic and believe in your ability to bounce back from failure. Surround yourself with positive and supportive individuals (or golden retrievers) who can help you regain confidence and motivation.

3. Re-evaluate your business plan: Take the time to re-examine your business plan and identify areas that may need improvement or adjustment. This may include revising your marketing strategy, re-assessing your target audience, or pivoting your product or service offering.

4. Seek feedback and support: Reach out to mentors, industry experts, and peers for guidance and feedback. They can provide valuable insights and advice on how to overcome your current challenges. Also don’t just get pigeon holed into your network, some of the best advice I’ve been given has come from those in different industries.

5. Manage your finances wisely: Failure can often have financial implications, so it’s crucial to have a clear understanding of your business’s financial health. Create a realistic budget, monitor cash flow, and explore funding options to help you recover and rebuild. Don’t be afraid to seek professional advice from financial advisors or accountants to ensure you’re making informed decisions.

For some more business advice @optus have a great podcast called “8 Minutes To Change Your Worklife” which has some great guests and tips for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
