‘I work with lots of students and mentees who are terrified of failure so they hold back, either never try or half arse it and kid themselves. Imagine showing up for a guitar lesson and being so afraid of failure that you cant even play any note.’
‘Just about everyone who has ever done anything to better mankind failed before they succeeded. Lots of their efforts didn’t work , so they paused, reviewed what went wrong and what went right, then got on to develop another approach.’
‘Remember, by avoiding the risk of failure you are also avoiding the risk of success.’
