It's knowing we're the punchline of community gossip, sometimes from fellow Founders who might have a right to joke, but mostly from those who don't. It's about trading that exciting victory we dreamed about for the nightmare that kept us from sleeping at all. Anxiety, however, can be a powerful motivator. It can keep us up all night. In this, we have a decision to make. We can stay in our anxiety, or we can stay up working on our next great idea. We are going to be up either way — why not use that time to reload? The best way to cope with startup failure is to start again. Get our focus on something other than failure and work even harder (yes, it's possible). It's all about redirecting our high-alert energy into something positive. The energy is going to be there — it's in all of us. How we channel that energy is what matters. The choice is ours.
