As creatives, we seem hardwired to remember every single time we failed in our younger days.
Remember the time you forgot your lines in the school play? Or the time you drew a picture for the teacher and she hated it? Or that time you hit the wrong note in your music solo and everyone laughed?
We carry this same hyper-sensitivity to failure into adulthood, especially with our writing. If we don’t have a certain number of blog subscribers, if we don’t exceed our expectations for book sales, or if we don’t live up to someone’s expectations, we view ourselves as a failure.
But what if our ideas about failure all wrong? What if there was only one single way to fail, and it was entirely preventable? What if success was 100% within your control?
On this episode, Kent shares a quote from legendary book coach Honoree Corder, who will give you a new view of success and failure.
