94: The Paradox of Failure

If you truly want to reach your full potential, start failing FASTER and MORE OFTEN I’ve spoken before about something called the ‘Speed of Implementation.’ This simply means that the faster you take action in business or in life, the more you increase your chances of success. It’s pretty common for each of us to make up excuses or make up stories as to why we’re not ready yet, like, “I’m not good enough,’….or “It needs to be perfect”. All of these are really just lies that we tell ourselves to justify not our decision to play small and not face our fear of taking action. However, you must know that the lessons that we learn through our failures are a thousand times more important to us than any one ‘yes’ or successful result will ever be.   When you push past your fears, you grow as a human being. One of two VERY important things happen when you take action - you either get the result that you wanted…or you get the lesson that you needed to grow as a human being. Remember, the greatest gift that this profession has to offer any of us, far greater than all the money in the world, is the person that we become as we achieve our dreams. This is the paradox of failure!  The more we fail…the faster we fail…the more lessons we learn…the more we grow as a person!  The failure is what makes us who we need to be! So take action!  Implement faster!  Fail more and more! Because by doing so, you will uniquely develop to accomplish exactly what you were put on this earth to do!
