Rok on E-mail, RSS, Entrepreneurship and Failiure

I just finished a great interview with Kim Bloomer of Kick the E-mail Habit. We covered various topics, from RSS to entrepreneurship and failiure.

Kim, thank you for all your great questions.

While the interview focuses quite intensively on RSS in the end, the first part was mainly about achieving success.

Let me just paste a short excerpt for you:

"It's basically all about focus and determination. I don't even remember how many times I failed as an entrepreneur in my life, and to tell you the truth I don't even care.

Failure always comes with success; you can never have one without the other. I failed quite miserably about three times, and succeeded a few times more.

The trick is in learning how to transform your failures in to success, learning along the way and not making the same mistakes over and over again. But, always make sure that you succeed when it counts! You don't need to win all your battles, but you do need to win those that count and have a profound affect on your life.

And don't ever believe that once you make it, failures will stop happening. Life just isn't like that. Expect failures at every step, and successes as well. That's just life; business as usual.

So I'd have to say that my greatest secret was not being stopped by my failures and taking every experience as one more step to the final goal."

Head on to Kim's site to read the entire interview.
