The Word Of The Day Is “Failure “
Say the word Failure to most people and they immediately think of not meeting the mark or coming shy of the goal.
When entrepreneurs with a dream for owning a business read the word failure they usually think of someone pushing beyond limitations and operating outside of comfort zones in which failure can be expected .
But other entrepreneurs with a dream for owning a business also think that failure happens when you operate outside of your comfort zone. They may think that failure is a sign you should not pursue this dream. .
When I read the word failure, I think of the other side of failure which is success. You cannot reach your big dreams without failing.
Here’s what comes to my mind when I think about the word failure as it pertains to increasing sales and growing business, especially if you’re eager to transform your wildest dreams into your everyday reality:
- When you fail at something it hopefully means you are doing something new to grow and push yourself closer to your dream.
- Before anyone became great, there were a big stack of failed attempts to accomplish the big goal.
- Check this famous quote from Michael Jordan out here where he talks about why failure is why he succeeds https://www.forbes.com/quotes/11194/.
The big payoff: Do not be afraid to fail. But learn from those failed attempts where you missed the goal. .
Here’s how we all can take advantage of this – When you meet a goal, record exactly how you did it? Learn from it so it can be repeated. If you fail, do the same exercise as you would if you succeeded. But learn from failure to produce a successful outcome in the future.
What failure have you had in the past that you eventually turned into a success?
