Bouncing Back From Major Failures: Not all mistakes are equal

No Bullsh!t Leadership

Episode 301 // A lot has been written and said over the years about the necessary role that failure plays in our quest for success. Anyone who has ever been successful, first had to endure (and bounce back from) failure!

It’s easy to reduce this process to a few pithy sayings:

• “Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly!” (John F Kennedy)
• “Failure is another stepping stone to greatness” (Oprah Winfrey)
• “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” (Ralph Waldo Emerson)

These are all true… and, let’s face it, I’m a big fan of a good mantra to help me keep my head in the right space.

Then again, there are failures, and there are… failures! Making the little daily mistakes, learning from them, and correcting them is a part and parcel of your growth and development, in any walk of life.

If you’re a regular No Bullsh!t Leadership listener, you’ve probably already got a pretty good handle on this process.

But there are two situations where this doesn’t necessarily hold true:

1. When you keep making the same mistake repeatedly; or
2. When the failure is so big that it has a deeper effect on your psyche

Both scenarios can cause you to lose a tremendous amount of confidence, so working out how to come back from these failures is much harder… and much more important!
