Reason to Under Achieve No. 4 – Believing In Failure!
It really is so easy to be stopped by the very thought of failure, but not just any kind of failure, public failure!
Let’s face it, we could all go for our dream if we knew that we will be the only person to know if we failed! But when we step out and announce that we are going to achieve something big many people will be ready in the hopeful anticipation of watching us mess up!
But things are changing. More and more people are recognising their mistakes and their failures as nothing more than another step towards success. They realise that they have found a way that doesn’t work and can move forward to find one that does.
More and more people are recognising their mistakes and their failures as nothing more than an opportunity to grow, because it meant you put yourself out there. Okay things didn’t go to plan, but you can learn from what didn’t work.
I celebrated when I made my first property “cock up!” (Excuse the English expression!) Why? Because now I didn’t have to worry about making a mistake!
I have made one, I can relax, its all plain sailing from here. Okay I was left with a little matter of having to find £8k ($16,000) in 3 days, but hey, who cares! I was too busy celebrating that I messed up!!!!
The question here is “What learning opportunity(ies) have my mistakes and/or failures given me?”
If you are telling yourself that you failed then celebrate, because most of the high achievers you will read about have. Go and pick up a few auto biographies of people you admire, people who are where you want to be. Read their story, and if you don’t find a section where they made a mistake, lost money or failed then let me know because I will want to read it myself! ?
