The Reluctant Entrepreneur - Failure


Listen Later

Can we learn from Failure as much as we’d like?

Diana and I discuss what happens when The Reluctant Entrepreneur encounters failure, which is a very common entry point for entrepreneurs to start to utilize coaching as support. Most of our previous failure maps out how we internally relate to potential failure for our business endeavors. Our emotional connection to our products and our success further compound how we process and can prevent us from properly learning from failure.

How we talk about failure, or potential failure, is what causes us to play a zero sum game. We also don’t place as much value on the things we haven’t struggled to obtain even though we desire to avoid pain and discomfort.

In this episode we referenced:

  • Paraphrasing the quote “You win or you learn,” which is attributed to Nelson Mandela or John C. Maxwell.
  • Diana has discussed her experience with Failing the ICF’s MCC Exam on Tandem Coaching Academy’s Video Podcast.
  • Slack was referenced as a single product strategy concept.
  • Words that Change by Shelle Rose Charvet (Affiliate Link, which helps us offset the costs of production)
