FFB #37 - Fail Fast: How Screwing it Up Can Help You Win

On this weeks Friday Fat Black , Pete and I have the pleasure of having my much better half Charlotte Paul on show. In this episode we wanted to cover what every single one of us goes through in life - not just our sporting endeavours but also LIFE. FAILURE We are all going to fail at some time and that is OK. In fact, it's more then ok ... it's absolutely crucial to becoming successful. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes at all costs, aim to seek opportunities that will lead you to facing your limits (and they're usually ones that ARE self imposed) so that you can learn quickly. I bet you if you ever look back upon times in your life which led to major growth or successful moments that they were preceded by mistakes, and seemingly unsurmountable obstacles. As you'll hear about in this episode Charlotte had many failures on her journey to winning her first Ironman in a handy time of 9:00:55 and more after that which led to further successes. I've had my fair share and I guarantee there will be more. Pete talks about his 'failure' at Ironman Cairns recently. The key .. the absolute key is learning the lessons. To do so you have to be open to receiving them. Sit back and relax and learn how failing fast and failing often can be your ticket to the greatest successes you've ever had.
