It's not about avoiding the storm, but learning to sail through it. Before we delve into the strategies, let's take a look at some real world examples.

But each venture was a failure. Instead of giving up, they learned from each setback, adapted, and eventually found their niche in video games. Then there's the story of the american company FedEx. In the early days, FedEx faced immense financial struggles. There was a point where the company only had $5,000 left in its account, not even enough to fuel their planes.
