“Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat.”
I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It's with this principle in mind that we offer a weekly segment called Failure Friday: short stories about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and failure.
Today's story features Sean Ogle from Portland, Oregon—founder of LocationRebel.com and no stranger to long-time Side Hustle School listeners. Chris wrote about Sean in The Art of Non-Conformity.
Sean went to his boss with a creative proposal to work remotely, hoping it would let him grow his side business. His boss had a different interpretation of the proposal—and Sean was effectively walked out of his office the day he left his job forever.
"Never confuse a single defeat with a final defeat."
Not everyone wants to quit their job—and that's completely fine. But as Sean puts it: your worst fear is probably not going to happen.
