I have failed so many times

By M.Farouk Radwan, MSc.

I Tried so many times but i failed

So many people send me messages telling me that they failed to achieve whatever they were after. Those people aren't lazy ones who never tried but they are the ones who did some effort and even tried more than once but they didn't make it.

Many of those people develop a false belief that they can never reach their goals and i don't blame them. Because after all they have a solid evidence that they are going to fail if they ever trie again.

But there is one thing those people have missed which is understanding how success works. In order to explain to you why those people should keep trying let me first tell you about my personal story.

How many times i failed

Back in 2004 i was so eager to become a millionaire. I was thinking about nothing but the next big business that can bring me millions. Here is how my journey was like:

2004: I wrote a book and believed it will make me rich but two publishing houses rejected it so i gave up on it
2004: Tried to start an online company to sell clothes online but it failed
2005: Started a company that gives training courses but had to quit because it was consuming so much of my time and health
2005: Worked as a computer trainer and had to quit after 1.5 month
2005: Tried to start an investment company but failed to collect the needed funds
2006: Tried to become a stock market investor and by 2008 i had already lost 80% of my money
2006: Started 2knowmyself.com and wasn't making any money for 2 years
2008: Decided to quit 2knowmyself.com but thanks God i didn't
2009: Started an investment site but had to abandon it because i wasn't able to sell anything on it
2009: Joined a popular network marketing company but it collapsed after a year
2010: 2knowmyself had picked up and i made the million i was after!
2011: Started 3 different websites about three different topics but they all failed
2012: Started a Social network that shows the popular hangouts but people didn't like it and it failed
2012: 2knowmyself Turned into a fully fledged internet business selling products to 190 countries. (see my book How i did it)

Did you get the idea?

This is how life works whether you like it or not. Success in life is all about going through the failed attempts while learning from your mistakes until you produce something that works. (see also How to become succesful in life)

By the way the previous story is the brief version. I have gone through many failures that i didn't mention. So back to the people who were emailing me.

Here is my response to them:

"Your failures are the steps needed to reach success. Learn from every failed attempt. Analyze your mistakes then start again. Sooner or later you are going to make it. There is one rule for success. If you don't give up you will make it"

My Latest Project

Right after experiencing success on the small scale i decided to start to my quest to succeed on the big scale. So i got very interested in starting a social network that becomes as popular as instagram or twitter.

And this is why i launched optimistnet The First Social Network For positivity, motivation and positive humor.

Unlike many of the failed projects optimistnet is picking up real quick that i now believe that it will be among the next big things.

OPtimistnet might be the 20th or 30th project i started. I am not sure of the count but what i am sure of is that the more you try the more likely you are going to make it.

2knowmyself is not a complicated medical website nor a boring online encyclopedia but rather a place where you will find simple, to the point and effective information that is backed by psychology and presented in a simple way that you can understand and apply. If you think that this is some kind of marketing hype then see what other visitors say about 2knowmyself.

The Solid confidence program was launched by 2knowmyself.com; the program will either help you become more confident or give you your money back.
