No, not me, not you. I look at them as speed bumps.

They might slow you down, but they can't stop you unless you let them. So when I started my first business, I faced rejection, doubt, and plenty of losses. But instead of letting those moments break me, I asked myself, Paul, what is this teaching me? The lesson is always there if you're willing to find it. Second, use setbacks to sharpen your strategy.
