Turn Failure Into Success

One of the reasons why huge fortunes have been made in California's Silicon Valley is failure is no big deal.

Among the thousands of Internet start-ups, many are bound to fail. Those caught in bad deals simply jump to a new idea and try again. Even while we are hearing of one dot-com failure after another, there are big new websites popping up.

AOL founder Steve Case says the harder they fall the bigger they become. Case is convinced from his personal experience that major failures sharpen a company, bring new knowledge, and help the firm to come back strong.

Here are some ways to brainstorm for new ideas after an idea, product, or service turns out to be a disappointment.

Find someone outside your circle to look through your failure and see where things tripped up. Often a fresh view can give you clues you hadn't thought of.

Even when business is going well and sales are mounting, take time to look for things that could challenge your success.
