Building Success Through Failure
All too often our lives are dominated by the fear of failure. So how are we supposed to get ahead? First, we need to know when and how to use our decision-making power wisely.
Second, we need to understand our fear of failure has two parts – one internal and the other external. By recognizing this we can work to overcome it and plot our course for success.
Finally, we need to envision success, picture the end goal, the end game. With that in mind, it makes it easier to achieve that next step. And if we fail, we can pivot, jump that hurdle and take that next step!
