Failure and rejection are normal in entrepreneurial journey. Despite the societies we grew up from do not tolerate failures, I strongly believe somehow that's the part of the journey.

I am gonna share a few tips how to turn failure into a stepping stone to success.

1. Get excited about failure.

• Get excited about failure, it is the best teacher in the entrepreneurial journey

• Every time we fail, be sure to learn something or take something away from it. Make  necessary adjustments to ensure the same mistake never happened twice.

• Never give up. We don’t define failure as not succeeding. True failure is when we no longer have the will or desire to succeed.

• At some point we have to be willing to turn our back on the naysayers and be willing to move forward. Confidence will come later on.
  

• Why would we ever look where we don’t want to go? It's better to focus on the way forward and where we want to be.

• Knowing the path we are about to travel will definitely increase our confidence as well as our chances of succeeding.

• Our non-entrepreneur friends and family are not the best people to support us. Spend more time with those who will.
  

• No business gets everything right from the beginning, and even the most successful people have lots of failures every day.

Failure and rejection isn't a bad thing, and should not be shunned upon.

One gets better at dealing with it the more it happens to them.

To deal with it, I recommend:

• Talking to others. It'll make you feel better.
  
• Redefine your idea of 'success' into smaller, more manageable goals. The easier you are able to reach your goals, the more confident you'll feel and you'll deal with failure better.
• Understand that this is part of life.
