When things don't work

We've all heard of the familiar adage "If at first you don't succeed, try again." We often forget that as adults when something doesn't work the first time through. It is a euphemism we pass off onto our children when they are struggling. If a product doesn't sell, a process doesn't work, or the result wasn't what we hoped we throw in the towel and call it quits.

This has been a learning process for me since starting this venture. My first vision of Remix Productions didn't work out like I had imagined it would. I contemplated dissolving the venture since it had sat idle for so long and I have other career pursuits in mind. We decided, that though the original vision of the company and the direction had changed didn't mean we should give up. And we gave it another try.

I post products or update the websites and don't get the sales I had imagined. I post on Facebook or Instagram only for it to not reach people or get a reaction. Matt faces this as he tries to work on new products and build new equipment. Still we continue to push forward. Each of the experiences lending us knowledge about what works and what doesn't and how to continue to improve.

You may see products come and go as we pursue different ideas. You may see our approaches, sometimes bordering on orthodox, change over time. This is because we try different iterations to find out what works best for us. The important thing is that we don't give up and that we continue to pursue our goals. Each unsuccessful attempt

building us up for eventual success.

The old adage has become a mantra of mine in the past few years. If I don't succeed I take stock in what wrong and try to improve and try it again. I am hoping that our children will see that even though we don't succeed on our first attempts that we continue to work hard so we can succeed. I believe children learn by examples. I no longer tell them to try again if they want to succeed they can watch their parents do just that.

Just keep going!

Cheers!
