We all experience failure at some point in business, but not everyone talks about it. And when I’ve heard some of my favorite podcast hosts and entrepreneurs share their own journey of overcoming specific mistakes and failures, it’s months or years later. They have the time to learn from their failures and reflect on them, gaining clarity and insights about both their mistakes and solutions. That’s valuable information.
But what I rarely hear is talk about failure when it first happens - those moments when you don’t have clarity or the wisdom of hindsight yet.
As a financial coach, you may have some perfectionist tendencies like me. If that’s the case, failure likely looks and feels pretty painful. I know because I experienced a massive mistake just recently. I had some hyper-critical, negative thoughts initially that I had to work through before I could even think about solving the predicament I found myself in.
When failure first happens, what goes through our minds and how can we coach ourselves through it? What’s the very real and sometimes ugly experience that so many of us face when it comes to making mistakes as entrepreneurs? In this episode, we’re going to explore the initial realization of failure so we can navigate it better in the future.
