Many people have failed from time to time. From loosing at a baseball game to flunking out of school. However small a failure is, it is still hard to admit, and even harder to bounce back.

Because of the stock market crash and the real estate crash, their have been thousands of people that feel they have failed. I, for instance, lost every thing as a real estate investor. My husband and I were making big money, had the home of our dream, a boat, and fully retired, totally enjoying lifes pleasures.

Total Failures

Then the market crashed, we lost everything. We felt like total failures. We really just wanted to bury our heads in the sand and hope that it would all go away. But nothing just goes away, you have to deal with it, you have to learn a way to bounce back. And that is exactly what we did.

We found an online home business and re-energized our life. We now help people take back their life by showing them how to create their own financial freedom. Where quitting is not an option. The only way to fail is to quit!

Convicted of Fraud

I just read a story about, Bill Bartman. He had a business partner in a debt collection company that was convicted of fraud. Even though Bill did not know of any of his business partners fraudulent doings, he was also indicted on fifty-seven felony accounts and all his assets frozen. He filed for bankruptcy and it took four years of his life before he was cleared of everything. In the mean time he lost about three billion dollars.

Bill Bartman picked himself up and bounced back. He did not let failure take over his life. He is now currently rebuilding his own debt-collection company at the tune of over one hundred million dollars.

Everyone has the capability of bouncing back from their failures if they put their mind to it. You have to believe in yourself, take action, and be persistent.

Four Ways To Bounce Back

First of all you have to admit that you did fail, if you never admit it, you can never move forward. You can not just live in denial thinking that this could never happen to you. You have to find some other way to pick yourself up and bounce back. Find something else that you are passionate about and start learning those new skills.

Second, stop blaming others for your failure. Take on the responsibility, that it was your fault, not someone elese's. Once you can let go of blaming others, then and only then can you move on.

Third, Stop making excuses. Stop saying, Well, I came from an alcoholic family, or I was never good enough in school, or I am too old, or I am just not smart enough. You have to stop making excuses for your failures. Failure happens to people every day, every minute. You can not use excuses to think that you will never bounce back from a failure, because millions of people have done it and you can too!

And finally, learn from your previous failures. There are many lessons to learn from why you failed in the first place. It could be, you did not try hard enough, or you did not have the right education, you lost your passion, you stopped taking action. These are not excuses, these are things that can be changed. These are lessons that you can correct in order to move on to the next big adventure in your life.

Robert Schuller quoted: “Failure does not mean you are a failure, it just means you have not succeeded yet!"
