Podcast Update: The Good Endeavor Short-Term Rental Show is expanding with the addition of a new host, Bobby Herrington, and new topics within the entire scope of business (not just short-term rentals). Updated artwork and title coming soon.

In this episode:

Even the most successful innovators and companies have experienced many failures along the road to success. From Thomas Edison testing thousands of materials for the lightbulb and Dyson going through over 5,000 prototypes, it’s clear that failure is both necessary and inevitable.

So why are we so afraid of failure?

If you’re experiencing some of this fear today, Mark and Bobby have the strategies you need for shifting your mindset to separate a single failure from identifying yourself as a failure. 

Viewing failure as an opportunity to gain experience and knowledge is what distinguishes the successful entrepreneurs we all look up to so share this with a friend who might need to hear this today.

Topics Covered:

00:00 Failing Forward

00:50 Examples of heroic failures

03:05 Where the fear for failure starts

05:30 The failure identity
