Bouncing forward isn’t just a clever phrase—it’s the mindset that separates those who keep growing from those who stay stuck.

What if your biggest setbacks could become the turning points for your next breakthrough? This episode reveals why failing forward is the secret ingredient behind lasting success.

Failing is not the end—it’s often the lesson we need to get closer to our goals. Donna and Londina explore the deep value of viewing failure as a temporary detour, not a dead end. Instead of quitting when things go wrong, learning how to reflect and recalibrate sets you—and your business—on the right track.

What You Need to Know

• Failure is a necessary ingredient for success—every achievement is paved with moments that didn’t work out.
• Healthy reflection is key: pausing after a setback long enough to ask, “What tripped me up?” helps break patterns and avoid repeating mistakes.
• Giving yourself a timeframe to process—like 24 hours to reflect or celebrate—can keep momentum high without letting emotions stall your progress.
• The real danger is not failing, but quitting or refusing to learn from failure.
• Many people fear success as much as failure. Recognize when hesitation is really about uncertainty over what comes next or an expanded role.

What You Need to Do

• Shift your mindset: treat every failure as a teacher. When you hit a snag, resist the urge to move on too quickly.
• Make a habit of reflecting on every setback. Ask yourself what happened, how you responded, and what you can change to avoid it next time.
• Set boundaries on how long you'll dwell. Whether celebrating or recovering, give yourself 24 hours then move forward.
• Push past the urge to quit when things don’t work out. Reframe “failure” as a chance to learn and grow.
• Be honest about what you’re truly afraid of—is it failure, or is it possible success and expansion?

Your Next Step

Start treating every stumble as a stepping stone. After your next setback, take time to analyze and understand what led to it, then use that insight to adjust your approach.
