major business failures
How do I pick myself up after a major failure?
One reason I’ve been acting whacked lately is because I just bombed in nursing school last spring. I now have huge student loan debts. I’ve always had job troubles, though I seem to be handling this recession well (I work 4 part time jobs, and so don’t need to file for unemployment – yet). I keep thinking about taking up skydiving, and coaching at a snowboard camp, but skydiving is expensive, and as klutzy as I am, I’m afraid I’ll make enemies at the camp. I’m trying to sew and launch my own eBay business, but can’t seem to get up enough energy to do so.
How does one pick oneself up after a major failure? I feel like there’s no use in trying anything, because it’s just one more thing to fail at.
Nursing is not easy so don’t feel bad if you bombed. Your medical knowledge will still be useful maybe you can find a job in a related field. Maybe you want to think about what you’re really interested in and see if you can make that into a career.
Every failure is not really the end but a new beginning for something great. 95% of new discoveries are by accident from some fail experiments.
