I'm writing from Nigeria and where I come from, commerce (buying and selling goods) is the main economic activiity. I have created one or two business ideas which failed but I still kept on pushing until now that I have been able to start up a thriving mentoring program for entrepreneurs .
So far me, failure is part of a building process for eventual success.
I love the perseverance there! I might have stopped if I am not winning twice but you take everything into learning and now working on mentoring others too! I read something that the best application of learning is through mentoring cool!
