Just hearing the word "failure" is something that used to make me anxious. It was grilled into me as a child from my parents and society that failing is a very bad thing.
This thought about failure being bad served me for a time. I strived to make "good" (non-failing) grades in school so I could have opportunities open for me to create the success I have today.
There came a time though when my relationship with failure had to change. I had to learn how to view failure as a GOOD thing. I had to learn how to fail FORWARD.
Failing forward simply means that you're refining the traditional definition of failure as "lack of success" and instead defining failure as "data that isn't what's expected."
With that simple definition shift, your ability to grow even MORE expands, your anxiety decreases significantly and you open yourself up to massive success (because you're willing to massively fail on your way there).
Helping my clients redefine failure is a huge reason many of them create the success they do while working with me and beyond. They know failure is part of the game of growth and they're no longer scared of it.
(Fun fact: I recently considered sending flowers to my clients when they hit a goal in their life. I realized I would be sending flowers to everyone all of the time! So when I say my clients grow and hit their goals, I mean it.)
If you're wanting to hit your goals with more ease while feeling better than ever in YOUR life, today's episode is a must listen. Listen now on your favorite podcast player or at the link at the top of this page.
To failing FORWARD!
