I’ve recently discovered that I have become more of a failure in Life! Would YOU like to be more of one as well?

Note to Reader: If you like where this story is going there is a link to a Video Chat on it below 🙂

I have started failing a lot lately.
Finally,
and now I want to keep at it.

Yes! You heard me right.
I want to become more of a failure in life.
O.k. Maybe not a complete failure.
That sounds like perfection.
And my quest for perfection started stressing me out a while ago.
So, I let that quest go.

Let’s just say that I am more of a failure than I was about 5 years ago.
And a lot more of a failure since I left my corporate bi-weekly salary and benefit role and structure.
that supported me for 30 years back on November 30, 2015.
They say that 80% of businesses fail within the first 5 years.
That is scary.
Am I going to be one of them?
That is even scarier.
At least for me.
I am at 2.5 years and counting.

Change is scary.
At times very scary.
And so is failing, especially at first.
I would be lying to you if I said that I have not woken up at night scared along my journey.
Or not woken up in the morning ready to start my business day and felt stuck because I was so scared.
It seems to go in cycles and there is a high correlation to my mindset and energy levels.
My hypothesis is that I will continue to be scared at times moving forward.
Because I am only human and human’s are supposedly wired to feel fear.
I was so scared and hiding in my comfort zone for so much of my life
That I fear my wiring has become even more sensitive to fear.

Am I going to fail?
Only time will tell.
And my definition of business failure will probably have changed a lot in  between now and then
based on how much learning and growing I have done as part of that failing.

I try and explain my interpretation of the concept of failure in my latest VIDEO CHAT.
Here is the LINK https://youtu.be/57Y9n2acmJU
Spoiler Alert. I defined FAIL as …..
First Attempt In Learning.

In the VIDEO, I have also created and shared a tool to help you move forward faster and farther.
Along your journey of learning and growing.
OOPPs.. I mean your journey of Failing. 🙂

All you need is a double sided piece of paper.
Or anything else that you want to use to capture.
Your next step.
Not Your next steps but,
ONE NEXT STEP.

Too many next steps, I find, can be daunting.
And that, along with the quest for perfection, stresses me out as well.

Enjoy the VIDEO
Enjoy your journey
I hope this little Video chat and tool has helped you along your way

Cheers
Dave
