Today's FailUp mentor is FailingUp Morning Keynote Speaker Blynda Lane

Blynda is a recovering failure avoider. She has spent a good portion of her life assessing risk and taking only those she felt confident she could conquer. This approach was not completely futile, but wasn’t near as much fun either! Thankfully she had a realization that because she was consumed with “not failing” as her priority, sadly “not trying” became her benchmark.  Blynda Understands there’s more to lose in not trying than in failing. She now enjoys her many opportunities to do voice over and on-camera work for a variety of companies. She has also appeared on "The Blessed Life" television show on the Daystar Network and is a women's conference speaker.

Failing is a part of success but how many of you are afraid to take that first step for fear of rejection,

Marsha's Story:

I started over at age 56 with no corporate financial backing, no staff and no office. 

In March 2010 my husband and I opened our own business T N T Promotions, LLC.  It was the worst of times with the an even worse economy. It was very hard the first two years, but through dedication, commitment and learning some valuable techniques to overcome the fear of failure, our business TNT Promotions is thriving and we are having a blast!

How do you Snap Out of It! and move forward faster?  

Libby says, "Like a lot of kids with a precocious streak a mile wide, I struggled in school and was a near constant challenge to my teachers.  Needless to say, I spent a lot of time in my principal's office.  In high school, I joined the speech and debate team and found that place in the world where I belonged.  I attended Texas Tech University and finished my degree in communication studies.  I loved college and being a student so I moved to Denton, TX where I earned a master's degree in communication studies.  I taught college for ten years and after an unexpected consulting contract fell in my lap I took a chance and started my own consulting adventure, Bravo cc.  Today I work with professionals across a number of industries and professions, teaching them to be game changers in the marketplace by taking their communication skills seriously!  

I start by asking the question "What's Your Plan Be?" to get to the heart of who they want to be as a professional.  I am convinced when we take the time to answer this fundamental question we are more likely to find our own success."
