June 13, 2005 Embrace Failure
With a title like that, you are probably thinking, OK Todd is off his rocker, what is he thinking here, but I assure you I am not when I tell you to embrace Failure!! Failure is just a springboard to get you where you want to be, do or have.
How you say, well consider that Edison had more failed light bulbs than working ones, John Elway and the Denver Broncos lost 2 Super Bowls before Winning 2, Failure just shows us where we are falling short in the journey to our desires, If you feel like a failure now, learn from it, what got you there, how does it feel and use that to motivate you towards your desired results.
Recently I have started doing some Video Producing for some local business people in my mentor Group, this is an exciting yet anxious journey I was able to turn over some very good quality Promotional DVD’s to one of our members over the weekend, and he commented that they turned out better than he expected, which was good considering we had to re-record the DVD’s 8 times because of “Failures” to get it right, would we have gotten the quality of product we did, had we not learned from our failures and applied new strategies and techniques because we failed?, I think not
If your not making some mistake, your not playing the Game
Make it a great One
