Keep moving and keep moving forward.

With little education and no experience or background, Adam Kei has built a successful business in the coffee industry.

To start, he invested $3,500 in a minimum wage, short-term lease.

Now, Kei has opened two stores and is serving 25,000 cups of coffee per day.

How did Kei achieve his success? In short, by combining his entrepreneurial mindset with his liberal arts degree, he figured out a way to start a business and execute his vision.

Most startups fail, and unless you have an entrepreneur mindset, there is little that can be done.

But Kei shows that when you have passion, determination, experience and deal-making skills, anything is possible.

After spending more than ten years developing his multi-million dollar cleaning company, Adam Kei has been in business for 15 years. His primary focus is on dealing with failures and avoiding business failures.

Failure doesn’t mean you stop.

For example, failures in a marriage rarely lead to divorce. Even though marriage rates have fallen in the last 20 years, divorce is still extremely uncommon. The key to success is dealing with failure and achieving the success you desire.

I suggest you choose to keep your business failure or failure out of your personal history and focus on the future. Find a way to achieve your success through success.

And if you fail, keep moving and keep moving forward.

A mentor once told me, “The whole world is built on deal-making and deal-making is everywhere.”

Avoid business failure by keeping your eye on the prize. The worst thing that can happen is that you fail, which happens to everyone.

If you do fail, make sure you don’t let it end your journey. By taking the blame for failure. Use the failure. Rather than giving up, take failure as an opportunity to learn and grow.

You will eventually succeed, but you can’t do that until you fail.

Now, don’t fall into the trap of believing that you are too old to fail. Everyone fails, and with the right mindset, you can succeed even in your 20s and 30s.

And when you do fail, don’t let it defeat you. Try to find a way to stay optimistic, build your business and keep moving forward.

And if you fail, keep moving and keep moving forward.

Learn how to overcome it and succeed.

It’s easy to see the world as a failure, but it’s the opposite. It’s an opportunity.

You can learn from failures because you have been in failure before.

Successful business owners are proactive. They don’t sit back and wait for failure. Instead, they explore, educate, test, figure out what works, make changes, and continue to move forward.

The best entrepreneurs live their lives as if they are always testing, learning and growing. Success is unpredictable, so if you can develop a realistic perspective and fail with resilience, you’ll be well-positioned to build a successful business.

Success comes from finding out what works, building a business based on what works, knowing what you don’t know, failing, learning and changing.

Keep moving and keep moving forward.

You can learn from failure by learning how to deal with failure and achieving your success.
