I do think there's a fine line between being resilient and becoming unfazed by failure (the latter of which is bad). As the article points out, failure is important as a learning tool, but by the same token, trying to avoid failure isn't necessarily a bad thing. In fact, startups that consciously navigate uncertainty efficiently and mitigate risk as much as possible tend to be much more sustainable.

Sometimes I think entrepreneurs err a bit too much on the side of being too 'okay' with failing and pivoting (buzz word), but I'm a big believer in planning, executing, reflecting, and repeating. Sure, for some things you just have to jump straight in, but I think caution, thought, and preparation all go a long way.
