[VLOG 240] How to overcome FAILURE
I am failing in a major way right now…and I don’t care…because I know that failure is an inevitable part of the journey. In fact, every successful person knows that the more you strive for, the more you must be willing to fail.
Let me give you an example…
My first job out of Uni was as a door-to-door sales person in Chicago, USA. Yup, you read that right…door-to-door people. It was BRUTAL!!!
Knock knock
SLAM
Knock knock
GO AWAY
Knock knock
NOPE
I knocked on door after door because our trainers taught us a magical formular: If you knocked on 30 doors you were pretty much guaranteed to make 3 sales; even if you were a terrible sales person.
The drilled into us…EVERY NO BRINGS YOU CLOSER TO YOUR YES.
That has never left me.
Now, every time I fail or get knocked back or fall short I tell myself: Every no brings me one step closer. And I pick myself up and try again.
The people who succeed the most and those who are most willing to fail…again and again.
Today, I want to ask you: What have you given up on that you could attempt, let’s say 30 more times?
You know, in true DARETOGROW fashion?!
