In this episode, we discuss how to overcome the doubt surrounding your goals and dreams. And how in business, it's not always clear when your idea will work, but it is clear that failure only comes after quitting.

Have you ever heard of a business idea and thought it was too wild and may not even work? My bet is that we all have since this is common in the entrepreneurship world.

We then come across the same idea after it has gone through several iterations and trials and have an aha moment. The idea has morphed into something we can now understand and see the business sense behind it.

This is the theme of today’s episode; all good ideas go through this journey of initial failure before they are refined through a lot of work to become great ideas.

To highlight this, we share numerous examples of ideas that evolved after initial failures or doubt but went on to become huge and the lessons we can learn from them.

Among the successful businesses we highlight that were built after founders had failed multiple times is Clubhouse, the live social audio app, currently valued at over $4 billion.

Listen in to this amazing story and others of successful entrepreneurs who despite of failing overcame the doubts to achieve their goals.
