Plan to Fail
107 episodes - English - Latest episode: almost 3 years ago - ★★★★★ - 2 ratingsSo how do you determine what success looks like to you? Do you base it on the results and outcomes, or what you learned along the way?
You see, society has conditioned us to tie success to an outcome. But the truth is, failure is an essential part of success. The faster you fail, the faster you will succeed.
So the real question is, how can we redefine our relationship with not just failure, but with success as well?
Welcome to the Plan to Fail Podcast. In this show, join King Lau, serial entrepreneur, ex-financial advisor, and university dropout as he explores the answers that will allow you to live a life that is true to yourself, and clarity in the direction you are going.
You will hear inspirational stories of personal successes and failures, interviews with established entrepreneurs worldwide, and resources to equip you on your journey. Join us as we discuss topics such as mindset, entrepreneurship, and much more! You’ll be able to reprogram your mind for true success and gain the skill set you need to not just earn money doing things you love, but find fulfilment in everything you do.
