Is just falling short of your target an overall failure?

by
Hey everyone, as we enter into the last 30 minutes of our launch our team are super overwhelmed by the amount of support, especially for a first launch. However, there is an underlying disappointment because we didn't hit our upvote target although we were super close. How has everyone else dealt with this

I am right there with you, it can feel a little disappointing but truly it's an experience, the best part about PH is you can have multiple launches from what I have seen! So truly, it's all about taking the learning and using it for the next time!

@annie_chopra Thanks Annie! This was our first launch so any goals we set were a shot in the dark tbh. Absolutely, this may have been our first launch but it won't be our last and we have learned so much in the process.

Aim for the stars and at least you land on the moon. As creatives and entrepreneurs, we tend to set goals on the ambitious side (whether justified or not). It's better to set more challenging goals and come up a bit short vs setting so-so goals and hitting them 100%. If you're hitting your goals at 100%, you might not be stretching yourself as much as should (and thus missing out on personal/professional growth opportunities)

@jefffajans Brilliant way to look at it 😊
