look up "faulty capacitors" in google. multiply by 8000. But we got through it. We repaired or replaced each one as my life rode along the bell curve of faulty capacitor failures. Honestly, I don't know how we did it. But we survived.
Failure is far more honest than success. Failure stories are a chance to pass down wisdom, to warn others of your plight, and to prevent them from taking the same steps into darkness.
Failure is also necessary. Starting a company at a young age is amateurish to some degree.. you can make up for a lot with energy and determination. And if your lucky, ever so lucky, you won't make the one failure that puts you out of business.
The failures that don't put you out of business are your only chance at true reflection. You've been slapped in the face, and hopefully it's obvious why. The more issues you encounter early on, the stronger you + your company will be. So savor every failure. It makes you unique, and over time indestructible.
"Now you know. Life is crummy, well now you know.
O.K. Big surprise
People love you and tell you lies
Bricks can fall out of a clear blue sky
Put your dimple down, now you know!"

I was fortunate that no one mistake took down my company. But they sure came close.
