How to become a successful failure!

from The Real Value Podcast Hosted by Blaine Feyen

Most people do not fail because they are stupid, lazy, or untalented. They fail because they repeatedly do the things that make success almost impossible, then act surprised when life gives them the receipt. In this episode, Blaine flips the usual success advice on its head and lays out the failure playbook. If you want to ruin your business, waste your talent, and stay stuck, be inconsistent, unreliable, full of excuses, allergic to hard conversations, addicted to busyness, and more committed to protecting your ego than improving your life. Inspired by Charlie Munger's idea of inversion, this episode looks at success from the opposite direction. Instead of asking, "How do I win?" the better question might be, "What am I doing that guarantees I lose?" This one is sarcastic, direct, and probably uncomfortable. Good. That means it might actually be useful.
