Failure is a part of business. Very few entrepreneurs ever make it big without first experiencing some massive failures. Whether it be running a business into the ground, getting fired from a job or even going to jail, plenty of very successful entrepreneurs have seen huge failures before ever accomplishing their dreams.
So if you ever feel worn down or intimidated by the thought of failing, just take a look at these entrepreneurs who failed before making it big.
.1.Joey Antonio
Founder, Century Properties
Before Antonio became the head of one of the biggest real estate developers in the Philippines, he went through a series of failures with his previous small business ventures.
2.Alfredo M. Yao
Founder, Zest-O Corporation
Yao first experienced failure when poverty forced him out of school. After earning his doctorate degree at the Polytechnic University of the Philippines, he opened his own printing press.
3.Socorro C. Ramos
Founder, National Book Store
When Ramos and her late husband opened their first store in Escolta, they had to find ways to survive a wave of hardships: heavy book censorship by the Japanese during the war, fire that razed their first branch during the Battle of Manila, and a typhoon destroying almost all of their merchandise after the war.
4. Manuel V. Pangilinan
Chairman, PLDT, TV5, and Metro Pacific Investments Corporation
Pangilinan almost missed his chance to earn his MBA at Wharton because his family didn’t have enough money to send him abroad. It was solved when he secured a scholarship program from Procter & Gamble (P&G) through a national competition. When he got back from Philadelphia, he applied for a managerial position at P&G, but was rejected.
5. John Gokongwei
Chairman, JG Summit Holdings
Gokongwei was born to a rich family in Cebu, but they lost everything they had upon the unexpected demise of his father. Gokongwei worked hard to support his siblings by peddling soap, thread, and candles at the neighborhood market
