Chasing Failure
Apr 15, 2024"Failure is a gift if you don't give up and are willing to learn, improve and grow because of it."
--Ryan Leak
Good morning,
I find when coaching that the fear of failure holds people back from reaching their potential. That fear keeps their goals and dreams out of reach because many don't want to take risks.
Failure and success go hand in hand. Consider this list of "failures:"
-
Babe Ruth--714 home runs--struck out 1330 times.
-
Walt Disney--he was fired from the newspaper where he worked because "he lacked imagination and didn't have any good ideas."
-
Albert Einstein--didn't start to talk until he was four, couldn't read until he was 7, and was labeled mentally handicapped.
-
JK Rowling, The Harry Potter creator-- was broke, divorced, depressed and a single mom on welfare while writing her first book.
-
Michael Jordan--didn't make the varsity basketball team in high school. He was crushed because his best friend did make the team.
What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?
I am looking for a few growth-minded, life-long learners that want to be part of a community that wants to grow and develop. Individuals who want to create comradery with others who want to move forward but would like some accountability will enjoy this group. Do you need a place to celebrate your wins, share what you are working toward and maybe need some fresh ideas?
I'm starting a special group for just that. We'll be doing through Ryan Leak's book for 6 weeks together. We're going to learn that failure is not our enemy, but actually our friend and can actually lead to greater opportunities. We're going to encourage and inspire each other. If you need some coaching, I'll be there.
This co-hort will gather at noon, by zoom, beginning May 8. Your investment, besides the book, will be $199.
