A failure, poorly managed, can cause serious damage to your personal life as well as the professional one 🤯. It can get you stuck in that corner called “The Comfort Zone”… Or even stops you when success is right around the corner 😳.
Failure is absolutely the secret of any success story you know in the world: from Thomas Edison to Steve Jobs! 🤔
How to turn a failure into a potential success? and why not to an impressing success!
Here are some techniques to master your failures:
👉🏼 WELL PREPARE FOR A POTENTIAL FAILURE
“Hope for the best, prepare for the worst” Yeah that’s it!
It is not a question of catastrophizing potential risks and starting to think negatively. It’s about protecting yourself and your ideas, making sure you take a smart risk that guarantees you a small reward. At this level even if you fail, you can handle the situation and retest other tracks without losing too much.
Avoid silly decisions and think carefully before deciding to take a big risk even with a great added value: Be wise!
👉🏼 LEARNING FROM FAILURES
Do not crash if you fail: This is a good learning opportunity. Think about what did not work properly in your decision and re-think your next round.
👉🏼 PERSIST AND DO NOT LET FALL
Remember that Edison has managed to invent the lamp after hundreds of tests. Steve jobs rebuilt his professional life a lot of times: Apple, NeXT, Pixar, and finally the big phenomenal return to Apple…
Resist if you believe in your ideas. Never hesitate to test different tracks and tactics until you get to them.
