Failure isn’t the end—it’s a stepping stone. Here’s how 5 founders turned setbacks into success. 1.Sara Blakely (Spanx): Failed as a lawyer, turned door-to-door rejection into a billion-dollar idea. 2.Elon Musk (Tesla/SpaceX): Nearly lost Tesla in 2008, learned to iterate quickly under pressure. 3.Brian Chesky (Airbnb): Rejected by investors, pivoted to obsess over user experience. 4.Drew Houston (Dropbox): First launch flopped, used feedback to refine and succeed. 5.Melanie Perkins (Canva): Rejected by 100+ investors, persisted to build a unicorn.
