After how many attempts did you say "I am successful"?

I started since I was 15, failed more than 10 times and now I'm 19, I'm trying again and I hope I can make it this time

1....2......3....4....5.....6....7....8.....9....10.....11.......12........

After 12 attempts still not successful as a founder, but I have started a semi successful agency. Now I am planning to start my 13'th and hope to make it by attempt 20 :))

I've lost count, probably over ten attempts at this point. What I can say is that as long as I keep going, my skills keep getting sharper.

When I was 25 and was about to sell my first startup I felt successful and hit a very early mid-life crisis 🙂 I had reached most of my “I want to be successful” goals: a nice house, great car, girlfriend, etc. Then I read “Once your lucky, twice your good”, and am pursuing that ever since
