If you want to Invent, If you want to do any innovation or anything new, you’re going to have failures because you need to experiment…” Jeff Bezos  It takes failures to get to success. One or two successes can pay for many losses. You might have been like me. My thought has been Failure means time to move on. “If at first you don’t succeed, give up and move on right.” Failure can be hard. I didn’t know how to feel good about it plus there was always something shiny off to the right or left that would catch my attention. It was easier to move on than to buckle down and fix things.

Despite the truth of all this the facts are I didn’t get good at anything because I always moved on before I could. The sad part is I got stuck in the failure and never made it to the windfall because I gave up. It is so easy to look around at all the good ideas because there are many out there and there is someone that will share them with you. I was the kind of person that I would say yes to the 99 different opportunities and say no to the one. I will admit that I still moved forward and grew just not at the rate I could have had I stuck with one and worked through the failures.

I have said that this time I put a line in the sand and burned the boats and will not go back. But I tell you there have been multiple times that I was so close to giving up and getting a job. If i had to count the times in the last 6 months I would need both my fingers and toes and still might be short. Pruning my life has been such a chore. I have so much deadwood. That is the amazing part of it though. Because of cutting all that deadwood there is so much room for new fruit to be produced. So much more energy to feed that fruit. I can feel a bumper crop coming on.

I know that it will not be easy. I have not failed for the last time. I have more to learn. I will learn it and keep going. I will say “no” to the crappy stuff that doesn’t support my mission so that I can focus on the things that will grow it.

I want to let you know how much I appreciate each of you spending your time with me today. I think of you each day. You are a big part of my life and I’m glad you are here.
