Failing at Interior Redesign

Failing at business is nothing new. It happens all the time. Interior redesign is no exception.

As good as my tutorials and courses are, I still have people who take the training with great enthusiam and I never hear from them again. While there are a myriad of goals that a person might have, and while timing sometimes plays a part, why do people fail to achieve their hopes and dreams?

Failed attempts are a part of the road to success. The failed attempts are merely attempts which brought successful people to the point where they succeed.

You see there are people who have tenacity and drive. There are people without that.

Then there's rejection. Failure usually brings out feelings of rejection and guilt. Often people interpret their failures as peer rejection or a loved one's disapproval.

Failure is merely that an idea didn't work. Or the process of creating the idea didn't work. Or the means to market the idea didn't work.

Clearly something didn't work out as planned, but it is wrong to view that as rejection by any one.

It is right to turn the idea over in your mind, look for ways to improve the idea, look for ways to to improve the processes or the marketing of the idea. And then give it time.

Gerald Fralick found himself flipping hamburgers in 1962, earning minimum wage. He decided to make a "career change" toward selling life insurance (which by the way is very difficult).

Twelve years later, after he had sold over $50,000,000 worth of policies, he was asked how he had become successful. He replied, "It was because I thought that's what you did when you had failed at everything else."

Making a career change is one thing. But maybe you just need to take a closer look at you, how you present yourself, your services, the benefits you're offering, your target market, your advertising message and methods.

It's a lot easier to improve what you're doing than to make a startling career change. But then no one should stick to flipping hamburgers for life.
