Today I’m going to get vulnerable & discuss my favorite failure. There is something to taking the most terrible moments in your life and learning from them. The biggest, favorite failure started when I was making music with a band. This is embarrassing, pushed me forward, and change my priorities.
I was a starting a band and we had a big gig, press was there, the room was filled and something happened. My band mate was not 100% during the performance and I’m livid about how this is playing out. Our music is so sloppy at this time, we cleared the room except the people who will support me no matter what.
I learned a lot from this experience. What I did well was getting in touch with people and contacting people to come to our shows. I needed to make sure I had a solid product to put out in the world and I should not have contacted other artists or the reporter just yet. We weren’t completely ready to perform that day. I also suffered from self-sabotaging behavior, I knew I could not drink or party as much anymore. Being in the band, in essence, was what pushed me forward in my life.
It was this moment that I knew I had to move and start over. Fast-forward to today, I’m now a successful gym owner and content creator. I became healthier and a version of myself I strive for and every day I grow and learn from my mistakes.
