The last 4 or 5 days have been really crazy, I feel like I am learning so much about organization, planning, and initiative. There is this re-occurring occurring theme, and I have also felt it when producing the DVDs.
I get to a point and no matter how I think to try to solve it, I have no choice but to just try it and see how it turns out, knowing it wont be right. When I see it executed with it’s errors, only then can see where the flaws are and fix it. Its like: “Hurry up and fail at this, so we can get get it right”.
What this means to me is that you have to be comfortable with failure to really learn. If you are uncomfortable with failure, you cannot learn as quickly than if you embrace the process.
When you have no clue on a technique, idea, process, etc, sometimes only after you try to do it and fail, can you understand how the process works, by seeing what NOT to do. In this sense, failure is good.
Failure is the foundation of progress.
So true…some of the best training I’ve had is what I’ve learned by my mistakes and moving forward after them.
What’s the old saying? "Show me someone who has never failed, and I’ll show you someone who has never succeeded.", or something like that.
Are you listening in on my phone calls? This is the very thing that I was talking to my daughter about yesterday. What I said was " It is good to get it right the first time. But you must treat you failures as a treasure. Only then will you learn what not to do."
Sometimes you have to fall, to remember not to trip!
I used to be a fitness consultant at Gold’s Gym and I was the one who sold you your membership…anyway, I was trained that you need to get through the no’ to get to the yes’s…therefore the no’s were not failures only stepping stones to success.
