Have Things Blown Up...Try Again

RECENTLY, the news media was awash with reports that Facebook founder lost about $200 million in the recent failed SpaceX Rocket launch that was meant to beam internet services to remote parts of Africa and the world. This was one of the reasons he came to Africa in the first place. It is instructive that Mr Zuckerberg himself was away in Kenya and Nigeria when this huge project was been executed in Cape Canaveral’s Launch Complex, Florida.  Also, when and after the launch failure, he was still busy in Nigeria attending to pre-arranged schedules. Strangely, he remained calm in the face of great adversity. There are lessons here.

When he finally issued a statement, Mr Zuckerberg said: "I'm deeply disappointed to hear that SpaceX's launch failure destroyed our satellite that would have provided connectivity to so many entrepreneurs and everyone else across the continent. … We remain committed to our mission of connecting everyone, and we will keep working until everyone has the opportunities this satellite would have provided’.

Waoh!!!! Despite the monumental loss, Mark Zuckerberg remains committed

When things in our businesses don't work out according to our forecasts, when that proposal fails to scale through, when nobody signs up for that seminar, when nobody turns up for your show, when the app downloads fall far below invested expectations, when that big client pulls the plug, when your pitch falls flat…be disappointed by all means, but remain committed to your mission.

I leave you with this question, ‘How committed are you to your mission and dreams, even when things blow up, as they would?

Think about this.
