"Have you failed yet?"

HAVE YOU FAILED YET? [keep reading for tools to back-engineer failure]

That's an honest question.?As honest as can be.

I recently experienced some failure - and while I am angry of the setback, and raged on how I could have stopped the snowball. … and here is where I am supposed to struggle,?it taught me a lot?(a therapist-friend is somewhere smiling proudly).

Failure is just as natural as Success.?

It's inevitable, you can't win them all.?Failure is the reason why we say, “You win some, you lose some", “Life ain't fair”, and “C'est la vie.”?

Failure is mathematics.

But you know what I learned about failure??

It can be back-engineered - it can become a win.?

You can figure out where you took the first wrong step, where your competition got the upper hand, how you misinterpreted the context clues, and why your audiences aren't receptive to sales pitches.?

How??

That's something you gotta find out on your own.

FIVE METHODS I USE TO BACK-ENGINEER FAILUTE

  1. SWOT analysis - and get really really objective
  2. Write a Case Study
  3. Identify something in my process I could have automated
  4. Take responsibility and accountability to my audience
  5. Re-use the content over and over and over again.

Or give me a call - I can help with that. Humbly, I've got tons of experience.

So, it's safe to say, I've learned a lot. And I'm bringing all of these lessons into this new chapter of entrepreneurship, providing quick, solution-based, consulting.

Currently I am working on winning at:

Yessss!!! I learned over the course of the last 10 years, I wasn’t accepting the failures as part of my journey, to grow me up. I felt like I kept hitting road blocks and falling backwards. But once I changed my perspective and realized those roadblocks could actually stepping stones, and just rearranged them…my personal life & my career took off. It takes real work, many tears, and introspective conversations…but your failure could just be a setup for your success.

I always appreciate your transparency, and your email hit the spot! I failed ALOT last year and it was the stepping stone to a more aligned vision. Your email carried so much truth, and I appreciate it! We need to get more real about failure!
