We start a series of short stories of Entrepreneurs (Success Stories @ 10) who Overcame Failure and made it big.
At nights @ 10 , one success story will be published which will motivate and inspire you to not get bogged by the rejections or failure or fears you face, but go on and make yourself what you desire to become.
It’s hard to believe that one of the most recognizable names in online publications was once rejected by three dozen major publishers. Huffington’s second book, which she tried to publish long before she created the now ubiquitously recognizable Huffington Post empire, was rejected 36 times before it was eventually accepted for publication.
Rather than recoiling and licking her wounds, Huffington seemed to gain courage and wisdom with each failure to take on even greater challenges. Those book rejections only reinforced her perseverance in future pursuits. Through her failed gubernatorial campaign, which raised almost $1 million online, “I learned about the power of the Internet.” Two years later, she and business partner Ken Lerer launched The Huffington Post.
Today, we all know The Huffington Post continues to dominate Internet media, having reached profitability and attracting traffic that’s reportedly five times greater than its new-media competitors.
Here's Arianna advice to the entrepreneurs :
“Think differently from other entrepreneurs by accepting failure and learning from it. “There are a lot of failures along the way,” Arianna said. “I always stress that. I have two daughters, one just graduated from college, the other a junior, whom I always talk to about my failures.” Entrepreneurs need to address the possibility of failure, she said, “because so often, I think, the difference between success and failure is perseverance and not giving up after one or two or three failures. Just keep connecting to that place where failure doesn’t matter,” Arianna said. “If we become so dependent on things always being a success, then we’re in a very vulnerable position — because we’re not in control of how the world is going to receive something.”
