E39 The Success Habit of Failing Forward – Taking Action & Embracing Growth
Setbacks happen to all of us, but what if every failure was just a detour on the road to success?
In this episode, Londina and Donna break down what it truly means to “fail forward”—and how you can turn every misstep into a powerful stepping stone.
Most people think failure is the end of the story. But the truth is, quitting on yourself is the only real failure. Learning to distinguish between a temporary defeat and a permanent setback can change how you approach challenges in work, business, and life.
What you need to know
Not all setbacks are failures. Sometimes, things don’t go as planned, and that’s a temporary defeat—not a final destination. The difference lies in how you respond.
Both Donna and Londina encourage looking beyond mainstream thinking: instead of repeating negative stories, recognize your thoughts and habits, and see every obstacle as a chance to learn.
Your mind will look for evidence of what you focus on—so set it on opportunity instead of disappointment.
What you need to do
Release the habit of negative self-talk and train your mind to spot growth opportunities. When you’re tempted to give up, ask yourself: is this a conscious decision, or are you quitting on something you still desire?
Find ways to turn “failures” into advantages. Take calculated risks and prioritize action, even if it feels uncomfortable.
Get out of your safe zone. As Londina shares, growth happens when you decide to do something harder, not when you stay comfortable. Visualize how you want to think and act, then bring those intentions into each day.
