Failure, Resilience and Purpose: The Key for Entrepreneurs

[mstajminakter13]

The smiles in the photo were with my cousin Carlos on one of the worst days of my life, since that day we closed and failed with SegundoHogar.

Not only did he teach me a life lesson, but also #LessonsFromFailure that I share here.

Lessons from failure: how to learn and grow
Failure is an experience that we all fear, but that we inevitably face at some point in our lives. In my case, the closure of SegundoHogar was a hard blow, but also an opportunity to learn and grow. Here I share with you some valuable lessons that I learned during this process:

Failure does not define who we are.

Resilience is key to moving forward.

Redefining our purpose after a failure is essential.

Not only did these lessons help me get through one of the most difficult times korean email list in my life, but they also allowed me to reconnect with my purpose and find a new direction. Below, I'll dive deeper into each of these lessons so you can apply them to your own life.

The context of failure
I had had a great #Exit with alaMaula and I had to sustain myself as a great entrepreneur. That's where I started SegundoHogar, an Airbnb for Latam.

I can't remember a day during that time when I wasn't afraid of failure.

I had to validate myself.

He had a huge EGO.

I remember a dark period when I felt like I was failing not only as an entrepreneur, but also as a parent, and worse still, living in a society that seemed to be failing. My startup had failed after years of effort, investment and dreams.

It wasn't just a financial or professional setback, it was also a personal one. I found myself trapped in a spiral of thoughts where my mind kept telling me that I was "the biggest loser in the world."

I felt alone and defeated.
