Learn. Live. Grow. Rinse. Repeat.

Being an entrepreneur is not being the person that has a light bulb of an idea, shoots for the moon and either makes it or falls flat never to be heard of again. Sure, sometimes that happens.

A more apt analogy is the guy who wants a date for the prom. He asks 50 women he knows, in a forthright manner. 49 of them slap him. The fiftieth says yes.

Another analogy is from the movie Lone Survivor, where one SEAL asks another "Can you fight?" and is told "I've been shot.". This prompts the asking SEAL to tell the other "We've all been shot...can you fight?"

You've gotten slapped, or shot, and it sounds like hard. Good chance you'll get slapped by your next startup too, but it won't be as hard a slap if you learn from your failure through careful analysis, and apply what you learned to your next startup. Eventually you may make it to the prom, if you learn well, have some luck, and surround yourself with good people.
