FAILURE as a GOAL?!?
from Purpose, Passion, Profit Hosted by Ken Eash
Hear me out, most times our first attempt absolutely SUCKS. So bad and so epically that it often keeps us from trying in the first place. What if we shifted from trying to get it right the first time, to just trying (knowing, even hoping, that the first attempt will lead to failure) gather as much data as possible to make the 2nd attempt 10X better than the first? How much better do you think you'd feel about the first attempt? In this podcast episode of Next Level Solopreneurs, we explore the common tendency to delay taking action by constantly seeking more information and gathering evidence before trying something new. It's emphasized that initially, attempts are likely to be imperfect, embarrassing, and failure-prone. The speaker emphasizes that the fear of failure should not deter one from trying, as failure is a natural part of the learning process. Drawing parallels to various scenarios like starting a business or playing sports, it's highlighted that the first attempts are crucial for gathering data, adjusting strategies, and improving subsequent attempts. Whether it's about throwing a rock into a bucket or navigating relationships, the key lies in adapting and refining approaches based on previous experiences. The importance of adjusting, adapting, and persisting through failures to ultimately achieve success in various aspects of life is underlined.
