Venture capitalists and other investors mantra is, fail fast and fail often. This means that most of the investments end up in failure but every once in a while, you will have a big hit that will make the return worth it. That's why you need to fail fast, meaning don't draw the failure for weeks or months, you have to cut ties and move on to the next thing.
The same situation happens with for example, shooters in basketball, a 67% field goal shooter will go into slumps where he miss a lot and he has to 'shoot himself out of the slum' meaning, that once the slum is over, he will become streaky and score constantly again.
