Then this post is for you.
You’re in good company.
Check out this list of “failings”:

Walt Disney was fired from the Kansas City Star because the editor felt he "lacked imagination and had no good ideas."
Marie Condo struggled to find clients early in her career because her methods were unconventional and untested.
Soichiro Honda was fired from his first job as a mechanic before founding the automotive giant, Honda.
"Star Wars" was rejected by several film studios for being too unconventional and risky.
Beyoncé was rejected by several record labels and faced financial difficulties early in her career.
Warren Buffett made several unsuccessful investments and lost significant amounts of money early in his career.
James Dyson’s innovative vacuum cleaner design was rejected by numerous manufacturers and investors.
Mark Cuban experienced numerous business failures before becoming a billionaire.
Amazon barely survived bankruptcy 2001.
The difference between the people on that list and most others is simple:
They just kept trying.
I’m a former failure.
But I refused to give up.
Who is the most surprising “failure” on that list?
