You’re going to be afraid. You’re going to step out in courage. If not, that’s sad.
But let’s assume that you do something brave, risky & bold. Let’s assume that you take a chance.
There is going to come a time before you take any action regarding your risk that you’re mind will start working against you.
- “What if no once cares or joins me?”
- “What if I’m going about this all wrong?”
- “Experts might laugh at what I’m trying.”
- “I’m content with what I’m doing now.”
This garbage all makes sense (and the fears are all valid). But you’re going to fail.
Accept it.
No really. Repeat after me: “I’m going to fail.”
It’s a given.
So who cares. Go about failing. Then fail some more. Fail better. Fail smarter.
Pretty soon, you’ll have learned everything that’s wrong with your product, idea, business or ministry. You’ll address those issues. You’ll learn. The experiences will make you wise. Now you’re improving. The failure is less frequent. People are asking your advice. You’re a leader. You’re the expert.
All because you started off failing.
Lots and lots of people with blogs, twitter accounts & facebook pages are starting off the process in the wrong way: they’re trying to skip the failure step.
They’ll never learn….
And when we get to the most important line, we get:
So who cars?
SO WHO CARS?
WHO CARS?
CARS???????????????
hahaha. great point! See, I embrace failure within a writing about failure. I practice what I preach.
