I saw the coolest thing the other day that totally explains what we want to talk about today. The first person was standing in his little frame and it said, “unsuccessful people in life”. He was carrying boxes of failure. He had stacked the failure up on his shoulder and it was straight up. He was trying to hold the weight of all his failures. You could tell that he was really struggling, and he was almost going to fall over. The next frame over there was a man that had all his failures on his back, but instead of keeping them there, he was building a stairway out of his failure. Instead of holding on to all of his failures, he actually took those failures and grew from them, and raised up where he was going, and it helped him with forward progress.

Not only am I afraid of failing, but sometimes I can be afraid of succeeding. Because then I have nobody else to blame anything on but myself.

We can talk about this and we can talk about whether we're afraid of failure or afraid of success, how that holds us back and how we can build that staircase with our failures to ultimately be successful. whole person.

“Don't be pushed by your problems be led by your dreams.”

You can believe that it is possible for you to lose 50 pounds. You believe it's possible. Does it mean that you believe it's going to happen tomorrow? No. But you believe at some point if you continue the path that you are on that you'll achieve it.

I totally and absolutely believe that your mindset must be there. But in order to truly succeed You must set yourself up for success. If you truly don't believe that you can do something, it doesn't matter how many 3x5 cards you put all over your house. If you don't change, if you don't take an action, nothing will happen.

One of the biggest reasons people fail in my industry, is because they have this concept and this notion that if I just get organized once, if I get everything in its place once one, I never have to do it again.

If you can focus on the reasons why you failed in the past and figure them out, then shift your focus to what your dream is, what your vision is, what your goal is, you can know you can step away from that cycle of failure.

Make yourself that staircase instead of lugging it around and feeling guilty about it. Find somebody who's two years ahead of where you are. Whose kids are two years older or somebody two years ahead in their business? Ask: What did you do to have success?

Talk to those mentors, talk to those people that already have that 2020 hindsight and say, what did you do? or What did you wish you had done? Give me some help. Give me some advice as you

Figure out the failures, because you cannot build yourself a staircase if you're still carrying them on your back and feeling guilty about it. Figure out how to turn them into strengths and how to shift them from guilt and something that's holding you back into something that you can build a bridge over and start seeing those successes and, and creating your life based on where you've been not digging yourself a hole even deeper.
