Lesson 13: Failing Forward

  My $100 dollar report: This week we sell the last 5 Cycream sales, and with it I accomplished the goal of the 20 projected sales. Blackberry(a regular client) and 4 pecan Cycreams were the trend this week, I learn a lot regarding phone calls sales and how people responding positively when they know that profits will be donated, so I learned that people looks with better eyes to the  business that helps the community.

This week I learned that it does not matter that we fail the important thing is to recover and learn from the failure, in such way that we have to remain positive and focused without losing the spirit of our business. I learn from Richard Branson that "Every business involves risks. Be prepared to get knocked down, but success rarely comes from playing it safe. You may fail, "there's no such thing as a total failure." 

From Tom Nall I leaned that we always takes risks but we have to calculate it.

Also I learned that we have to see our business as a business not like a 24 hours job, in this week reading says: The over-involved business owner has no time to spend with friends or family, and he is generally so busy with the day-to-day operations of the business that he fails to give adequate attention to the strategic planning that is so important for the business' long-term growth and success. But the totally absent owner has no control over what happens with the business she fought so hard to establish. She is unaware of the direction in which her business is headed, and she pays no attention to the strategic planning that, again, is a crucial aspect of business growth. Many dangers, including theft and mismanagement by employees, can cost her the business". So we must to be careful always taking well balanced business decisions.
