Here's how you can seek feedback and constructive criticism after experiencing failure as an entrepreneur.

Winning is 99% losing. Every great entrepreneur will tell you they failed their way to success. Thomas Edison said, "I have not failed; I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work". I think this concept of embracing failure should really be viewed as missing a desired outcome. You are going to learn something from every failure, and I think it's more about how you handle failure over extended periods of time. I see this in business, and I see this in sports. When all seems lost, there is someone who always continues to play to win, shakes it off, and keeps trying. Be that person and embrace failure as a component of lifetime winning.

Indeed . Entrepreneurs always see failures as part of their journey so much so that they don’t even recognised them as failures but setbacks that needs rectifications.

Here's how you can seek feedback and constructive criticism after experiencing failure as an entrepreneur. 1. Approach with humility and openness. "What can I learn from this setback?" 2. Seek feedback from diverse perspectives. "How did different stakeholders perceive the situation?" 3. Ask specific questions to elicit actionable insights. "What aspects could I have handled differently?" 4. Listen actively without getting defensive. "What valuable points are being raised?" 5. Take ownership of mistakes and commit to improvement. "How can I grow from this experience?" 6. Implement feedback into future strategies. "What changes can I make moving forward?" 7. Thank your critics for their input and support. "How can I express my gratitude?"

Após uma falha como empreendedor, busque feedback e críticas construtivas com humildade e abertura. Primeiro, identifique mentores e colegas de confiança que possam oferecer perspectivas valiosas. Pergunte especificamente sobre áreas de melhoria e esteja disposto a ouvir sem defensiva. Participe de grupos de networking ou fóruns online onde outros empreendedores compartilham experiências. Use ferramentas de avaliação de desempenho para analisar dados objetivamente. Finalmente, reflita sobre o feedback recebido e aplique as lições aprendidas para ajustar sua estratégia e crescer.

Depending on where you come from, failure as a startup founder can be difficult to deal with, as not all societies welcome failure as a badge of honor. As a founder, it's important to take your time to grieve, after that, sit down and write down what has gone wrong, everything. Take more than one session to go through this. After that, start thinking about why it went wrong. Be self-critical, but be careful not to be too harsh on yourself. Once you have done that, leave it somewhere for a few days. Then review it and start learning from mistakes. Failure is a needed step in success, either personal or for your business.

Mentors are great but one has to remind self not to take them for granted . It’s a two way thing . Learn to take and give back .

📝 After facing failure, the feedback you receive is invaluable data. Time to analyze it carefully! 👀 Look for common themes across multiple people's suggestions. These recurring points likely indicate areas needing extra attention. ⚖️ Remain objective - don't take criticism personally. View it dispassionately as insights to improve. 🔍 Scrutinize the feedback through an impartial lens. Which comments could lead to meaningful pivots or strategy adjustments? 🧰 Use the aggregated feedback as a toolbox for iterating your approach. But apply it judiciously - not all suggestions may align with your vision. 💪 Separating constructive feedback from noise allows you to extract maximum value for your entrepreneurial journey.
