Neutralizing Failure
Manage episode 264037689 series 2640843
What do Thomas Edison, JK Rowlings, Michael Jordan, Steve jobs and Richard Branson all have in common?
They all failed....multiple times...on their path to the success we know them for.
Someone once asked...."How did the African Rain Dance have a 100% success rate"?
Answer.....Because they danced until it rained!
What You'll Learn here:
Today, we're talking about the other F word....Failure. Why we fear it, how to lean into it, neutralize it and the possibilities that can arise when you do. This episode is dedicated to uncovering the benefits of getting out of your comfort zone, getting rejected, failing the test, getting it wrong.
Learn how failure makes you more interesting, how it teaches you more than your wins ever will and how failure, ultimately, strengthens your resilience. Failure is simply part of the path of taking action until you get a result. If you want to succeed at something new or challenging, you'll need to redefine what it means to fail and keep dancing until it rains.
Quotes mentioned in this podcast:
"Success is stumbling from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm" Winston Churchill
"I'm not discouraged because every wrong attempt discarded is another step forward." Thomas Edison
Personal stories discussed in this episode:
How my boys selling cookie dough 10.00 at a time was hard for them to get excited about when they had a 100.00 goal
Why I keep a failure file
How I fail more than I succeed as I learn to box.....and why that makes my progress so much more meaningful!
