I think one way to turn bankruptcy failure to success is to figure out exactly why you went bankrupt. I know it seems glib if it only recently happened, but you CAN learn from it and you can apply it to future business endeavors. There are bankruptcy counselors who can help you turn things around. I encourage you to explore your community and city for resources. Also, I hope you can find the silver lining in the bankruptcy. Sometimes what seems like the worst can really be the best, but we can't see it until time has passed. I wish I could be more helpful, and wish you all the best in the future!

Failure is such an important topic as so many women take it personally when things don't go as planned. I particularly like the tips, "Get real about failure" and "Adjust your perspective on failure", as that has been so helpful for me in my life. Often it's been my perspective or definition of failure and success that has caused the problems. Now in hindsight I see the times I thought I failed as blessings in disguise or as wonderful learning opportunities for future success (and I've redefined my definition of success too).
