Fail Big, Then Move On
Fail - and fail BIG. Then get over it and get on with it! Read my book FIT FOR BUSINESS on amazon (a best seller!)

Failure Isn’t Personal, Rise Again
Never accept an idea or technique failure as your failure. You need to get up again as and shine . Being financially independent is very important for everyone irrespective of their gender.
Pooja Pandey Tripathi, Founder, Arogya Physiotherapy
Prepare and Adapt to Failures
I would say that they should do as much learning as they can do to be prepared for the business side of entrepreneurship. There are resources out there. We sometimes get very excited about our idea and prospects for either helping others or money that we don't take the proper steps and have misfails that are hard to overcome. Be ready to pivot if you don't find Product Market Fit. But don't be discouraged, there is a reason for your idea and you just need to figure out how it fits in with your customers.

Embrace Failure and Learn
Do the work, try new things and don’t be afraid of failure. My biggest lessons have come from ideas or actions that failed, sometimes miserably.
Sage Goldenberg, Founder, The Moving Genie
Expect Challenges and Seek Mentorship
I am an Angel investor (for about 15 years) and have mentored quite a few women (and men) through the Angel group. As a female entrepreneur, I have found that anyone doing something new is going to be a challenge, and generally will take longer and need more money that you' expect.

Redefine Fear and Failure
Redefine your relationship with both fear and failure. Learning to use fear as a sign that you're on to something new and big and learning to view failure as simply data changes the game to keep going in business.

Critical Thinking and Feedback
Always question your idea, question your business model, your channel, your products. Listen to the most hateful or mean comments you are receiving, trust me it will make you grow. You find positive in the most negative judgment you receive, turn this into a force

Embracing Failure and Effective Time
Management
I would like to tell them that failing is almost a necessary step. It is part of the game, and once it happens is exactly when you have to keep going. To not be afraid to fail, because that fear will make you stay still. To accept failure as part of the journey, and to know that what will make you a great entrepreneur isn't to never fail, it is the ability to come out of it and reinvent yourself
Julie Granger, Founder, The Studio Paris
Vision, Resilience, and Networking
Embrace Failure, celebrate and learn from failure. De-stigmatise this word, because this is where the real learning happens. Unless you're really really really luck, if you're not failing sometimes, you might not be taking enough educated risks.
Say NO! It's hard to say no, but every yes should be supported by 1000 nos. Your most valuable asset is your time. And there are going to be so many beautiful distractions, but you have know what your plan is, and stick to it, no matter how tempting the offers / requests (or how badly you want to nurture or be kind). Saying no is not being unkind, it's being realistic and honest.
Live and die by your calendar and your digital task management tool. I have a rule, it's not in my asana (my task tool), it's as if I never heard it. Schedule Deep Leveraged work, early in the day, and early in the week. Shallow work late in the day, late in the week. Schedule about 5 hours per week (yes, block it in your calendar!) for unexpected surprises.
