Most Of Us Have Been Schooled To Believe Failure Is Bad

Almost everyone I look up to fails a lot.

These people worked out long before me this simple truism…

To double your success rate you have to double your failure rate.

Yep!

Smart people get things right and play things safe

but

really smart people are willing to be wrong

‘cause

they’ve worked out that the gold is on the other side of failure

and

that most of us have been schooled to believe failure is bad.

So while we are all focused on NOT FAILING

the really smart ones are testing and iterating

moving from one idea to the next

without explanation

without shame

without question

until one day - hopefully - success.

Then they are greeted with the chorus

‘You’re so lucky’

You can be lucky too.

Why do we expect people to embrace change without first showing them how to change?

There are fundamentals to change that most people don’t even know exist.

Anyone can learn them but hardly anyone teaches them.

Once you know them...

✅then you start believing you are capable of change

✅then you start to see opportunities that you never saw before

✅then change works for you, not the other way around
