I have failed a lot more than most of you reading this…

And it’s not something I used to be proud of.
?
But now I am.?
?
Because the more I failed, the more I had the capacity to learn and evolve.?
?
And I say the capacity because when you are determined, you will succeed “eventually,” then you will keep failing.
?
The thing I realize now though is that I wasted a lot of time failing (and NOT learning)…
?
It was more like failing and getting FRUSTRATED, having a melt down, crying, going into the cycle of “this is never happening for me” I can’t do it. ?
And THEN, after that, coming back and continuing to try.
?
But in the melt down I did not go looking for answers, I didn’t have a plan for how I would do it better next time.
?
I just knew I was going to keep trying.
?
Ok embarrassing confession alert.
?
I did at least 10 webinars with ZERO sales at the beginning of my business journey and I kept repeating THE Same webinar again and again (without learning anything about what needed to change)
?
Just because Business Gurus kept saying “just do it again.”
?
But that wasn’t it!
?
“Just do it again, Just keep trying” IS NOT THE ANSWER ON IT’S OWN. ?
There IS a GOLD mine of harvested learnings IN THE freaking failure.
?
Now this is something I would smack my head about now in a classic face palm moment.
But how many times have you submitted an application or gone on an interview that you thought went great and you still don't know what went wrong?
But instead I decided to make it mean that I am now the person who is THE best at FINDING out what the learning IS.?
?
And when you do find the golden Nugget it’s like a piece of a puzzle that you’ve been looking for for AGES and it’s oh SO satisfying to pop it into place and see how it clicks in so effortlessly.?
?
and THAT Is who I am now.
?
And I skip the meltdown crying phase now completely, and I go STRAIGHT into the curiosity of the learning.?
?
It’s a beautiful way to be.
?
I'm also not so scared to talk about my fails I’ll just say things like “Oh yeah this was something I tried that failed” like in a no big deal way!
?
And I bring my clients with me in this way of being, too.
?
Because failing is actually awesome, but not if you don’t see WHY you failed.
?
Not if you don't harvest the gold that is there.?
?
You’re leaving ALL this gold on the table, and the table will collapse.
?
IF you’re just failing over and over and getting frustrated as to why… That is an ENTIRELY different experience.
?
That it is draining, it sucks, and it can only lead to burnout, exhaustion, and health issues, and ultimately leaves you no choice but to give up for good.
?
It feels like running in place, expending energy but not going anywhere.
?
When what's needed is a change in perspective to SEE where that learning was.?

But if you’re like me you can’t just do that on your own on the fly!
It doesn’t come easily or naturally to anyone.
And if you think you have learned something, you’re STILL missing more of it.
Because you can’t possibly see it all yourself.
?
You can’t solve a problem from the SAME mind that created it.?
?
It’s my mission to help you see that, get excited about it and THEN take a step that is going to be 1000X more powerful than “just doing it again.”
?
We are tired of people promising the world and not delivering, I get it.?
I am tired of that, too.??
?
I’m promising you the WAY to your own world where you create deep satisfaction with your steps and SEE your results coming together.?
?
If there’s anything I’m an example of, it’s this.
?
“Hi, I’m Natalie and I’m a failure.”
?
I’m also a great success.
?
But it doesn’t stop me from face-flopping again.
?
And I wouldn’t have it any other way.?
?
Ready to do this differently??
?
I’ve got surprises ready for you!
?
The 8 week challenge starts AFTER Labour Day and we’re landing as many people job offers as are willing to let this work change their career trajectory!?
?
Then, After THAT,?I have a leadership library to dive into so you can keep your next goals front and center.
?
Because the YOU that has this job already and is being paid what you deserve to be paid.
That version of you IS thinking about your next goal, promotion,?and salary band, and that version of you wouldn’t be waiting around to get to work.?

P.S. The doors will be closing soon we’re closing everything on August 30th So that I can focus on getting results with the new students!
Before we close the doors, I have one more thing I want to share.? I wanted to share with you 3 SECRETS from right inside the program! These 3 skills aren’t widely talked about and are very under-used. And go deeper than any of what we discussed in the 3-day series!?
?
I’ll be going live on Zoom one last time before we close the doors, so this is also your chance to ask any last questions!?
?
Date: Thursday August 29th? ?
Time: 1 pm PST ?

2 个月Love this article, Natalie Fisher! I sooo wholheartedly agree that failures are potential gold mines. Most of us fail at figuring out how to mine them properly (& very few learned how to get the very best of it). Thank you for this powerful reminder! ??
