Its only natural that startup founders contemplate failure, especially considering that the majority of startups don’t last more than five years. More often than not however, the fear of failure tends to be quite irrational and often prevents entrepreneurs from focusing on the very goals they need to accomplish to achieve success. Rather than dwelling on the negative, its important to embrace the possibility of success and constantly envision your business in growth and continuous improvement. 

We spoke to several startup founders at different stages in their careers, and asked what advice they had for overcoming their fear of failure.

As a start-up, it’s seemingly impossible to compete with the Facebooks and Googles of the world, who can offer six figure salaries to the talented professionals you’d want on your team. Because of that asymmetry, it can often be more important to create novel ways of attracting top talent to a new company, than it is to obtain operational funding.

This poses a massive challenge for any young and innovative tech start-up hoping to build a top-notch team, one that is not only able to get the startup off the ground, but most importantly, lead it to enduring success.

A common trait among most successful entrepreneurs is their willingness to observe and learn from the experiences of others. In doing so, they can avoid many of the painful and unnecessary mistakes that are faced by newly launched entrepreneurial ventures, and focus instead on establishing long-term and sustainable growth.

While all advice may be valuable to a certain degree, it’s important to remember that the individuals who are giving that advice often derived their experiences from different contexts and circumstances. With this in mind, you should remember that those contexts may not necessarily apply to the vision that you have established for your business, and then decide whether that advice will actually help you, or if it might actually set you back.
