Winners never quit.

If at first you don't succeed - try, try, again. If you are a true entrepreneur you should not know the meaning of the word failure. Real entrepreneurs look at failure as just another obstacle in their path to success. In fact, many people believe that you must "fail" before you can truly achieve monumental success.

A great example is the famous DJ Howard Stern. During my teen years in Michigan, Howard Stern worked at a local radio station called wwww (W4). He was not the most popular DJ in Michigan, and his shtick was nothing like it is today. He was a just a "regular" DJ. W4 could not make it as a rock station and Howard Stern was fired. Did he quit?, Did he think of himself as a failure? Did he decide to leave the DJ business and do something else? The answer is no!

Howard Stern tried again. He reinvented himself and became one of the most popular and wealthy DJs worldwide. He even got into movies. Howard Stern did not quit - and neither should you.

Today's Enable looks at 6 reasons why entrepreneurs quit - to prevent you from doing so. We then focus on a web site called startupfailures.com that is the first community focused on supporting individuals that have recently gone through or are going through the experience of a startup failure.

6 Reasons Why Entrepreneurs Quit No clear and direct goals No interest in acquiring special knowledge needed to continue Indifference Wishing instead of willing Looking for shortcuts to success Fear of criticism
