I need to fail before I can succeed.

“I need to fail before I can succeed.”

Think that sounds crazy?

It’s not.

It’s actually the truth.

If you’re taking big risks …

And swinging for the fences …

Failure isn't just likely; it's necessary.

Think about these phrases:

→ “I need to feel better before I go to the doctor.”

→ “I need to lose weight before I start exercising.”

→ “My business plan isn't perfect, so I shouldn't launch yet.”

Wanting results before we do the work is one definition of insanity.

What’s just as insane is thinking that we can scale to massive heights without experiencing some failures along the way.

Lots of them.

Let's normalize failure as a stepping stone, not a dead end.

Here's how to turn setbacks into springboards for growth:

• Reflect on what went wrong. What were the factors that contributed to the failure?
• Adjust your approach. Learn from your mistakes and refine your strategy where needed. or nuke it and start over.
• Embrace the support system. Surround yourself with people are high achievers and embrace high-level failure.

Agree or disagree: “I have to fail before I can succeed.”
