Redefining Failure

Failure is the opposite of success. Right? Wrong.

Great HBR article that outlines how we've become a society that so narrowly defines failure that we fail to recognize that we already failed.

Often, we mark failures with an event or a culmination leading to some type of announcement. Failure in business is often associated to financial outcomes, and rightly so. However, as the Harvard Business Review article above indicates so succinctly, we can fail in ways that are wrapped in a veil of deceit, avoided through a 'too narrow' recognition of failure, perpetuated by the status-quo.

Go Fail. It's okay. Just know when you do, then adapt. Failure is often just the beginning.
