028 - Dont Fail By Default

Welcome to 1 Minute Tips! We fail by default more often than you think. But what do I mean by failing by default? It’s pretty simple, let’s say that you have an exciting idea for a new business. After spending a considerable amount of time thinking about this idea, you’ve come to the conclusion that it should stay as it is… just an idea. This is failing by default. Your future business failed. You didn’t even give it a fighting chance. Of course, the majority of our crazy ideas and plans are bound to fade away and never see the light of the day. But it’s extremely important to be thoughtful when deciding on what’s worthy of your time and attention, and what should be left behind. We usually prefer to fail by default because it’s the easier solution. You may not be able to see this right now, but you’re capable of achieving so many incredible things in your life. Refuse to fail by default, be open to new opportunities and ideas. Experiment! Failure is part of the game, but if you don’t allow yourself to shoot first, you’ll never know if you’d score the point or not. I’m Rod Gomes and I’ll come back with another 1 minute tip soon.
