In an earlier post, I stressed the importance of staying in the fight despite failures -- we will not always be successful in life, but how we react to our failures determines our future successes.
I brushed off a surprising, unexpected failure earlier this week. I could have been angry and upset and lashed out, which would have been justified, in my opinion. But that's not the most productive course of action, and instead, I decided to stay cool and continue doing what I do -- create brilliant content time and again.
You know what? I just dug deeper, and I pulled off a mini-victory:
My most recent article about Wynn Resorts made the front page of InvestorPlace.com today, which I was very happy about. It's not everyday that my stories get front page coverage, so I'll take any victory as they come.
It also proves again that you truly must stay in the fight.
Don't give up, but most importantly, don't give up on yourself!
