Before Mayke Entertainment, we were Arclight Comics! Tune into the re-release of The Arclight Podcast and get insightful tips, info, and advice on how we make comics. We shared everything we learned from 2009 to 2016. Learn how we branded our company, handled legal issues, character design, story development, and more!

Inside Episode 015: Failure is our teacher, not our undertaker. And we have to learn how to re-purpose the negative connotations and flip them to positive associations. Failures and mistakes can be used as learning tools.


Key Takeaways
  • You are not the sum of your failures and mistakes. Pick yourself up and learn from them.
  • Embrace the concept of failing early—the earlier you fail, the faster you learn and grow.
  • Failure and mistakes are learning tools. Don’t associate them with negative connotations.
  • Failing gives you an opportunity to find a different way to do something. Don’t quit after the first try. Something didn’t work. Figure out what that is and do it.
  • Establish a culture of failing early. This allows your volunteers or employees to embrace failure. You’re running a business, not a regime.
  • Change your mindset about failure. It’s psychological. The fear of it may not ever exist in your reality.
