		<description><![CDATA[A look at 25 ways to learn from failure:  Business management lessons straight from life experiences. ]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Failure is the streets version of a formal business education. Have you been schooled?</h3>
<p>Often, I reward and encourage success so single-mindedly that I don&#8217;t always see and embrace the lessons in business that  only come from my failures.<br />
Those failures are the business lessons that I hold closest to my heart to shape my actions in helping build small businesses today.</p>
<p>When I came across this presentation by <a href="http://www.unstructuredventures.com/uv/2008/09/23/how-to-fail-25-secrets-learned-through-failure/">Taylor Davidson of Unstructured Ventures</a> I had to share it.</p>
