“if I had not I would not take risks again right I mean okay one rejection boom I'm never going to get another client I'm never going to have anybody who's going to say yes right but I forgave myself for whatever that mistake was that I made in that process”

Forgive yourself for past mistakes — that's what keeps you taking risks

Unforgiven failures compound into risk aversion. After one rejected pitch you stop pitching. After one botched launch you stop launching. The founders who keep shipping aren't lucky — they've practiced the specific muscle of forgiving themselves for the last failure so the next attempt costs less. Treat self-forgiveness as a tactical skill, not a therapy concept.
