Failing in life helps to build resilience. The more we fail, the more resilient we become. In order to achieve great success, we must know resilience. Because, if we think that we're going to succeed on the first try, or even the first few tries, then we're sure to set ourselves up for a far more painful failure.

In my entire life, I have always love to do business, be a leader and also stand tall at the top of my business Niche.
Four years ago when i was in my final year in the University, I had my business vision and plan in place ready for execution after graduation. I wanted to run an E-commerce online shopping company.
After graduation, in decided to take some jobs so as to raise money for my business. I couldn't stay too long working for someone's company while my dreams where stock. I was too on a rush to get my business started.
So I decided to share my business idea with some people so as too leverage on their Money with the intentions to pay back after starting the business.
After the loan,with my skills as a web developer, I developed the e-commerce website and also rented an office space.
February 10th 2020 was my worst day as a business man. Reason being that I had made some orders from China and USA, to sell back in my country Cameroon.
This peaceful evening, I got a call from the port in Douala Cameroon saying my goods have been been confiscated by custom police. Then I had exusted all the money and my business had not been registered completely . It was like a nightmare to me, Because I needed the business papers to Clare the goods.
I started wondering how I will pay back the money I had borrowed.
This was my greatest mistakes in business. I was taken to curt, where I spent more money I don't have.
I tried and tried pleaded with my family for help and they did.
When I finally cleared up the goods from custom duties, my business repetition had been downgraded. So I could only try to sell out the goods at horrible prices. And it's been a problem for me to get back on my feet.
what did i learn from this experience?
life is a whole risk we can't get to our destinies just by being comfortable where we are at. it is true that the comfort zone is a beautiful place but is no good news for an aspiring leader and a success oriented person. its true i leaned my lessons the hard we but that is does not mean i wont dare again to try, by the way my business is fast growing at the moment, because i dared though i failed but i leaned and i think it is a process we just need to get comfortable in.
