Q&A: My idea isn’t working … what’s the best way to move on?

Notes from Chris

Episode 1409

What happens when your first, second, and third ideas all fail to achieve your desired results?

That’s the situation facing our listener today.

As you may have heard from many of the stories we’ve featured in the past four years, very often the first idea or the second or the third doesn’t work out. But of course, this can be discouraging—so what do you do? How can you keep going in the face of disappointment?

So far I’ve tried three ideas to get my first moneymaking project up and running, but without any luck. The first two just didn’t work at all. I was excited about my new idea, but now it seems like a flop too. How can I move on? And how can I learn from these experiences so that the next time around, I have better odds?
