Ok so we all have failed at something in some point in our lives. Totally normal. And some of us WILL fail through out our Fastlane journey. Totally normal and OK again. Well i'm here to argue that that is actually a GOOD thing. Well sort of. Only if you embrace failure and approach it/ interpret it in a way most people DON'T.

Heres how failure should NOT be interpreted:
  • I'm inadequate; i'm just not a good enough entrepreneur.
  • It's the markets fault. It's their fault it didn't work. Curse them.
  • I knew I could never do anything right(confidence takes a nose dive).
  • It's Joe Blows fault it didn't work! Not my fault!
  • I will just forget about this failure and pretend it didn't happen.

Notice what all of these statements have in common? They are all SUBJECTIVE and EMOTIONAL non-sense.

Heres how failure SHOULD be interpreted:
  • Something went wrong during my execution. What is it? And Why?
  • Failure is a result of Scientific Fastlane error.
  • Failure gives me a deeper insight into the workings of the market; which turns out to be gold in my next ventures.
  • Failure lets me grow my understanding of entrepreneurship; no failure= no growth/progress in mindset.
  • Failure doesn't mean failure it just means what I have been doing doesn't work or is faulty.

Notice what all of these have in common? They are all OBJECTIVE and UN-EMOTIONAL and SCIENTIFIC.

Your success in the Fastlane is DEPENDENT on how you interpret and approach failure.

Failure lets me GROW into a SUPER STAR Entrepreneur. It reveals to me new secrets about the market place and also about execution.

Just like edison said: you didn't fail 10,000 times you just found 10,000 ways that didn't work.

How are you approaching failure? Is that holding you back?

Your turn folks. What are your ideas/ beliefs on failure?
