If at first you don't succeed, try and try again.
I read a quote from one of those zillionaire entrepreneurs that he had to
fail at seven businesses before he hit it big with one. So I guess it takes
a lot of practice to get it right. My question is how did he get investment
the 8th time after having those seven failures on his rap sheet? Or the
2nd-7th time for that matter. That's gotta be somebody with connections in
the good-ol-boys network.
If investors would just give me 8 chances at startups I'm sure I could be a
self-made zillionaire too.

That'll buff out.
Or if you're a Monty Pyton fan, "It's just a flesh wound".
Or if you've watched Roadkill on Motor Trend TV, "Dzus it back on".
The pilots here can tell me if there's really an expression CFIT (Controlled
Flight Into Terrain). But I think that's supposed to be unintentional,
whereas the startups that light piles of money on fire until it runs out
seem to be actively flying the plane into the dirt. Maybe they have golden
parachutes.
