It's the entrepreneurs who get back up right after they get knocked down who go on to be succesful. Eydie, losing all of the time can definitely get you down.

You guys thrive on the stress as well as on the thrill of the "hunt" for customers. Losing only makes you better. But it sure is an awfu thing to experience. Kinda like yucky vegetables.

You'll feel MUCH, MUCH better. -RL Hey Jared,

I got two thoughts for ya:
1) Learn from your ‘mistakes’ (ie whatever you perceive lost you the business)
2) Turn this ‘liability’ into an ‘asset’ (take the time and energy you spent and apply it to winning the business of your prospects’ direct competitor).

You’ll feel MUCH, MUCH better.

I was taken back, until you continued on saying, "Let's say mobileStorm goes belly up, and fails . How can anyone see that as failure, I have learned so much." I liked that response. It is the response of someone who has drive and purpose and goals in life. You can't let the lost sale or customer get you down. You need to say, "I will learn from this, and go on." It is truly what separates the successful in life from the status quo. Good for you Jared. Jared,
