Google fails all the time

But longtime observers know, “The Google” starts and acquires lots of products (and products that were actually features) that never really catch on. Google products fail, in other words. All the time. But that’s okay. You’re not learning if you’re not failing.

  1. I agree, one does need to fail to succeed. At its root, I think the Google example is a good one although there are many factors to consider.

    Google has the capital to fail 8 days a week, they'll also purchase companies whose services they never intend on releasing to the public for sheer sake of clearing a new market place of competitors.

  2. Thanks for your thoughts, Chris. This is part of our ongoing series on failure. To be a successful entrepreneur, you must be willing to face the possibility of failure. We feel like it's terrible to fail, when actually it's a sign of activity.
