Willingly fail and reflect. Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again.

Fail
better, goes Samuel Beckett's line. It's not always easy, the trying again part.
Another important thing is taking time to reflect on what went wrong. In the book The
Call of Solitude, Ester Schaler Buchholz says, Others inspire us, information feeds us,
practice improves our performance, but we need quiet time to figure things out.
In his book, Fail Up, radio broadcaster Tavis Smiley recalls lessons he has learned
through reflection. He sheds light on these so-called failures that were, in hindsight, his
best teachers.
Youll only learn by failing over and over again. When you do this, youre able to grow.
And in spite of lifes inevitable setbacks, youll come out the victor.

2. Embrace and confront your fears. According to author Brendon Burchard, fear can
be categorized in three ways, which all relate to pain. The first is loss pain, which
happens when youre afraid to move ahead because you fear youll lose something
valuable.
The second is process pain, which inevitably occurs every time you try something new.
You have to go through the process of learning to deal with it.
The last is outcome pain. This involves not getting the outcome you desired.
Burchard insists that people need to overwhelm their fears. Just as an army invades its
enemy from every side, a person should do the same with fear, attacking it from every
side, as if going to war.
For Shark Tank host Barbara Corcoran, public speaking was her Achilles' heel. But she
overcame it by going to war. She volunteered to teach a real estate night course in front
of a small group of students to overcome her fear.

3. Practice self-discipline. This is the ability to delay instant gratification and the ability
to work hard now to reap benefits later. When Academy Award-winning actor Jamie
Foxx was a boy, hisgrandmother routinely made him take piano lessons even though all
he wanted to do was go outside to play. He had no idea that those lessons would lead
to his eventual success. To this day, he continues to hone his craft and disciplines
himself to practice playing the piano for two hours many a day.
No one sees the years of hard work you might put into an endeavor. They only see the
outcome. If you want to reap the rewards of tomorrow, you must put in the work today.

4. Get some sleep. Shortly after the debut of her eponymous news site, Arianna
Huffington collapsed from exhaustion and lack of sleep. Shed been working 18-hour
days because she was so committed to growing her company. When she collapsed,
she hit her head against a desk and found herself lying in a pool of blood.
In her book Thrive, Huffington details the ordeal and says it was a painful wake-up call.
She knew she had neglected sleep and took steps to correct it.
When you get the sleep you need, youll feel more energized, charged and ready to
tackle any problem entrepreneurship throws your way.
