Vivian Weyll delivers a motivational message advising entrepreneurs to expect and welcome failure as part of the path to success. She shares a personal story of building a business for ten years and then losing it, urging persistence rather than abandoning efforts for new "shiny" opportunities. The talk contrasts overnight-success fantasies with the reality of repeated setbacks and recommitment.
I expect failure and I expect setbacks. Dave Anderson says you're gonna fail your way to success. So if it takes failure for me to get to success, let's go. And that is the mindset that a lot of people that say that you wanna be entrepreneurs don't quite understand. Everybody wants to be a millionaire overnight. But what people don't understand is that before you get to that millionaire status, you're gonna go through years of failure. In my. I built a business for 10 years to get to that level, and then I lost it all. It was taken from me. And what do you do with that? You do it again. Because if you did it once, you can do it again. And that's the thing. Welcome failure, expect failure, expect setbacks. And if you just do that, you're going to get where you want to be. Now, if you don't do that, what are you going to be doing? You're going to be chasing the shiny object syndrome. You always looking for a new opportunity because this one didn't work out. But the reality is, you didn't give it time to work out.
