Josh is a recent acquaintance and a serial entrepreneur. When I asked Josh about his work, he said, “When I left high school I determined to become an entrepreneur. But my first business failed, then my second, and my third. My fourth business started to get some traction, and by my fifth I was on my way.”
Amazingly, Josh today owns a consulting practice with ten offices that trains people on how to be entrepreneurs. Facing failure as often as Josh did took courage to continue trying.
In John 16:33 Jesus said, “In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.”
As leaders, we will face adversity. It takes courage to respond with resilience. Learn from your failures and remember God is your Victor.
