Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's about your willingness to just keep going,
recognizing that there's only acertain number of years you have
on this planet, there's only somany hours in a day, and if you
spend your days and your hoursdoing things you despise doing
in order to just, let's say,provide for yourself, providing
(00:22):
for yourself is great, but whatif the good Lord gave you
provision for something else?
It says that your gifts shallmake a way for you.
If you actually took time tolearn about how incredible you
were, nothing would ever stopyou.
Great day, as always.
We hope this finds you well.
My name is James Allen, andwelcome to the channel.
The design of this is to giveyou information, exposure,
(00:46):
conversations that can help youand those that you care about,
those that you work with, go toanother level.
You get value out of this.
Make sure that you likesubscribe, that you join this
community of people that arethinking ahead, are progressive,
and this leads me to the topicfor today, because I want to
give everyone perspective aboutfailure.
So I just want you to justlisten to what I'm going to
(01:08):
share with you right now.
Colonel Sanders had his chickenrecipe rejected one thousand
nine times before one restaurantwas willing to accept it.
Steve Jobs had every major cellphone network say no to iPhone
until AT&T gave it a chance.
Vincent Van Gogh, one of themost famous artists in history,
(01:29):
sold only one painting in hislifetime.
The Beatles were rejected byevery major record label until
they were given one opportunitywith one deal.
Henry Ford had five differentbusinesses fail before getting
the concept for Ford MotorCompany.
Emily Dickinson had sold lessthan a dozen of her 1,800 poems
(01:56):
in her lifetime less than adozen.
Dr Seuss' first book wasrejected by 27 publishers.
Sir Isaac Newton struggled inschool and was labeled
uneducated by his instructors.
Elvis Presley was told by hismusic teacher he couldn't sing.
Steven Spielberg was rejectedby USC School of Cinematic Arts
(02:21):
multiple times.
Of Cinematic Arts, multipletimes.
Look, rh Macy, like Macy's thatyou go to today, had seven
businesses fail before Macy'sactually succeeded.
Socrates was considered animmoral corruptor of youth and
the Athenian government wantedto have him executed.
Charles Schulz Peanuts.
Charlie Brown had every cartoonhe submitted rejected by his
(02:46):
high school yearbook.
Ludwig van Beethoven was toldby his music teacher that he
would never succeed in composing.
Claude Monet, whose works havesold for millions, tens of
millions of dollars, wasrejected by the Paris Salon.
Walt Disney was told that amouse character would never work
.
Jack London received over 600rejections before selling his
(03:10):
first story.
Fred Astaire, one of the mostfamous dancers in history, was
told by a studio executive thathe couldn't act or sing, and
barely dance.
Look, we can go on and on andon.
We could talk about how Carrie,stephen King's first book, was
rejected 30 times.
And James Dyson Dyson Vacuumshad 5,126 prototypes before his
(03:40):
vacuum cleaner succeeded.
So why am I saying this?
Why are we having thisconversation?
Why did I just go through thatlong list?
I went through a long list fora reason it's really simple
because maybe you haven't failedenough.
Maybe you haven't failed enough.
Look, you know, we have thisperception, and I understand why
we have the perception becausethis perception is being created
(04:00):
by media, social media,whatever that like.
The success formula is sosimple and the first time you
attain it, the first time you gofor it, it's going to work out,
and that is totally false.
That is totally false.
That is not the case.
That's never been the case.
In reality, everyone who's evermade it, at whatever level
(04:23):
they've made it to, hasabsolutely, without question,
failed, and failed abundantly.
Here's my question for you howmany times have you failed for
whatever you're going for?
How many times, how many peoplehave said no to you?
How many rejections have youreceived?
Because for most people it'snot that many.
They sing in the shower.
(04:44):
They have a beautiful voice andthey say man, I want to be a
singer.
They go to perform.
One person says no.
They're totally deflated.
They want to act.
They stop because, whatever thereason is, people have innate
gifts, but unfortunately mostpeople just don't fail enough.
You see, I don't look at failureas being an end point.
(05:05):
I look at failure as anecessary step in the process.
So, for instance, if you lookat, like Dyson and those vacuum
cleaners that you know madebillions of dollars, all right,
what you have to think toyourself about is man, it takes
something really significant tofail at something so many times
(05:26):
and still have the wherewithalto keep going.
I mean, for most people itwould be three or four times,
and I'm done.
This guy failed at making thisvacuum cleaner over 5,126 times
before actually getting theprototype right to then become a
mega success in the industryOver a thousand times.
(05:47):
Colonel Sanders is going torestaurant after restaurant like
, hey, you know, would you buymy chicken?
Would you buy my chicken?
No, don't do this.
It goes back, adds somethingelse, goes back Like at what
point did you decide the numberof times you would go for before
you stopped?
And everyone on here has had astopping point Something you
were going for, you were excitedabout it.
(06:09):
You did it three times, did itten times, maybe did it five
times I don't know what yournumber was but at a certain
point you just stopped.
You stopped and you went on todo something else.
There's a guy that I know whohad this amazing idea for
himself and for the life hewanted, and he wanted to be a
forest ranger.
He wanted to be out in thewoods and he studied to become a
(06:32):
forest ranger.
He would go sleeping in thewoods when we were at university
just because he loved beingwith nature and all this other
stuff.
He submitted applications,didn't get the response he
wanted.
He's kind of moved to the backof the list.
Now he's an accountant.
Can you think of anything worsefor someone who wants to be a
(06:52):
forest ranger than being anaccountant?
No, how many times have youallowed yourself to fail towards
whatever it is you want to do?
Did you actually give yourselfenough time?
You had this idea for abusiness.
You attempted it, attempted it.
(07:14):
You did it really hard for 30days, really hard for a year,
maybe for two years, I don'tknow but at a certain point you
stopped.
Even though it's still inside ofyou right now, as you're
(07:34):
watching this, right now, as I'mtalking, you're already
thinking about what it is thatyou stopped at and you question
should I have kept going?
And the fact that you'requestioning it means that you
know you should have kept going,and the fact that you're
watching this to this pointmeans you could probably keep
going.
It's about your willingness tojust keep going, recognizing
(08:00):
that there's only a certainnumber of years you have on this
planet.
There's only so many hours in aday, and if you spend your days
and your hours doing things youdespise doing in order to just,
let's say, provide for yourself, providing for yourself is
great, but what if the good Lordgave you provision for
(08:23):
something else?
It says that your gifts shallmake a way for you.
What if there's something else?
The thing that you're thinkingabout right now and it doesn't
have to make you a milliondollars, but it is the thing
that lights you up.
It is the thing that calls toyou.
Here's what I'm going to imagine.
I'm going to imagine.
(08:47):
I'm going to imagine when DrSeuss was coming up with these
characters, like the cat in thehat.
I'm going to assume he didn'tthink he'd become the best
selling child's author inhistory.
I don't think that was probablyon his list.
I think he had this vision ofbeing able to create an amazing
product for kids and it wasburning inside of him and there
(09:08):
was no effort for him to drawthese characters.
There's probably joy arounddrawing out these characters.
What would have been effortwould have been knowing he was
supposed to be drawing out thesecharacters, telling these
stories and ending up as anengineer.
You see, because for him that'snot him.
If you want to be a greatengineer, a great accountant, a
(09:30):
great doctor, that's great.
But if you're called to be DrSeuss and you end up as an
accountant, you are sufferingevery single day.
Here's my question for you Atwhat point did you stop allowing
yourself to fail?
We have this perception becauseit's all over.
You look at these stories andthese people say the same thing.
(09:53):
I had this idea on Monday.
I did it on Tuesday.
I made a million dollars onWednesday.
And if you, if you follow meand buy my course for whatever
amount of money, I'm going toteach you how to become a
72-hour millionaire as well.
And you don't do it.
And it doesn't happen that way,because what they didn't tell
(10:15):
you was they started it onMonday, 2022, and they figured
out how to really do it Mondayor Wednesday, 2026.
That's not sizzle enough,everyone.
It's process.
It's process.
(10:35):
Your life in this world wasnine months of process Not
there's process before thatprocess, but the actual you
being here nine months beforeyou showed up.
Nine months of developing youas a human being.
Then you show up in the worldand now you've got to figure out
what you're going to do in thisworld.
You've got to figure out whoyou're going to do in this world
(10:56):
.
You've got to figure out whoyou're going to be in this world
, what you're interested in thisworld.
You've got to figure all thatstuff out.
But if you are unwilling toembrace that, failure, as we
define it, is actually false.
It's a part of the process.
Getting the formula wrong andrefining it is a new opportunity
to get it right.
The thought that I tried and itdidn't work is lazy talk.
(11:19):
It's lazy talk for people thataren't willing to deal with
their own emotions and to keepmoving forward in spite of.
And these people struggle everyday because they live every day
wondering what would havehappened if I would have.
But there are certain thingsyou're no longer able to do,
(11:40):
like if you knew you're supposedto be an amazing football
player and you stopped tryingbecause whatever happened got
injured, got it.
It's dope.
That's a physical thing, it'sdone.
You're not able to physicallydo that anymore, but for most
people it's actually not're notable to physically do that
anymore, but for most peopleit's actually not physical, it's
mental.
There's, there's a book that youknow you're supposed to be
(12:02):
writing but you haven't writtenit, because you talk to some
people and they said and thenyou believed what they said and
then next thing, you know youcan't go forward and da, da, da,
da, da, da da.
But you've had this book inyour head, you've had this
invention in your head andyou've had this invention in
your head and you've had thisthought in your head and all
these things in your head, andthe only problem is that they're
in your head because you'reavoiding, you're avoiding and
(12:23):
you've got to stop avoiding.
You're going to mess it up.
It's supposed to be messy Life.
Hey, you ever watch a childborn.
That is messy, that's messy.
But when you look at yourchildren, do you just flash back
to that day or do you look atyour children?
(12:43):
The failure that you're avoidingis the process you're supposed
to be going through, to breakthrough to the you that you're
actually supposed to be.
And if you give up at the first, second, 50th, hey, I don't
know how long it's going to take, but, man, it's so much better
(13:06):
to be in pursuit of somethingthat calls to you and your
spirit and to make it work.
Maybe it doesn't work the wayyou wanted it to, but you just
kept moving forward.
I'm not saying sell your house,sell everything you have.
That's not what I'm saying.
(13:27):
To do this thing?
That's not what I'm saying.
What I am saying is this Is itreally failure?
Is it?
Is it really failure?
It is it really failure or isit process?
And if you can flip yourthinking from that, I'm failing
at something to recognizing.
No, this is just process.
Whatever this is, it's part ofthe process.
(13:48):
It is necessary, it is anecessary.
Then the other side of it isyou get what you want.
Embrace it.
It's the best part of theprocess.
As a matter of fact, I'm goingto say this I have learned more
when things didn't work thanwhen things work.
They just work.
But when something doesn't work, you learn more when things
(14:13):
don't work that you're able toapply for the rest of your life.
I had this conversation withthis gentleman and he was, he
just got.
He was talking to me about hiswife and it's the second
marriage and you know his firstmarriage.
They were together for three,four years and he his current
wife had been married for 16years and I said what was the
(14:36):
difference?
Because he was open about it.
He's like, yeah, he's married,da, da, da, da.
And I said what was thedifference between then and now?
He said, man, that's a reallygood question.
He's like I actually have theanswer.
Here's what he told me.
He's like the first time Ithought everything had to be a
particular way.
The second time current wife herealizes that it's all process,
(15:00):
that nothing is fixed, it's allprocess and what they decided
to do was to make a consciouseffort to be the best that they
could individually for the otherperson.
But he would have never learnedthat had he not had his first
(15:20):
marriage.
Consider it your first business,consider it your first sport.
And you went out and you didyour first tryout and it didn't
work.
Whatever it is the first.
That doesn't work doesn't haveto mean it can never work.
It just means you need tocontinue to work.
It's not failure, it's process.
(15:42):
Hope you got value out of this.
Do me a favor Make sure thatyou comment, because I love to
see and learn from you.
I want to know what are thethings that you, what are the
things that you know, thatyou've learned about yourself,
that you know you need to bedoing and like, do it.
There's no value in not doingit, just come.
I'd love to have a chance tosee where your lives are, where
(16:04):
your minds are, take care, godbless.
If you actually took time tolearn about how incredible you
were, nothing would ever stop.
You See, the definition ofsight is the faculty or power of
seeing.
It's about your willingness to just keep going,
recognizing that there's only acertain number of years you have
on this planet, there's only somany hours in a day, and if you
spend your days and your hoursdoing things you despise doing
in order to just, let's say,provide for yourself, providing

It says that your gifts shallmake a way for you.
If you actually took time tolearn about how incredible you

Great day, as always.
We hope this finds you well.

We could talk about how Carrie,stephen King's first book, was

And James Dyson Dyson Vacuumshad 5,126 prototypes before his
(03:40):

So why am I saying this?
Why are we having thisconversation?
Why did I just go through thatlong list?
I went through a long list fora reason it's really simple
because maybe you haven't failedenough.
Maybe you haven't failed enough.
Look, you know, we have thisperception, and I understand why
we have the perception becausethis perception is being created

The success formula is sosimple and the first time you

and that is totally false.
That is totally false.
That is not the case.
That's never been the case.
In reality, everyone who's evermade it, at whatever level
(04:23):
they've made it to, hasabsolutely, without question,
failed, and failed abundantly.
Here's my question for you howmany times have you failed for
whatever you're going for?
How many times, how many peoplehave said no to you?
How many rejections have youreceived?
Because for most people it'snot that many.
They sing in the shower.
(04:44):
They have a beautiful voice andthey say man, I want to be a
singer.
They go to perform.
One person says no.
They're totally deflated.
They want to act.
They stop because, whatever thereason is, people have innate
gifts, but unfortunately mostpeople just don't fail enough.
You see, I don't look at failureas being an end point.
(05:05):
I look at failure as anecessary step in the process.
So, for instance, if you lookat, like Dyson and those vacuum

(05:47):
Colonel Sanders is going torestaurant after restaurant like
, hey, you know, would you buymy chicken?
Would you buy my chicken?
No, don't do this.
It goes back, adds somethingelse, goes back Like at what
point did you decide the numberof times you would go for before
you stopped?
And everyone on here has had astopping point Something you
were going for, you were excitedabout it.
(06:09):
You did it three times, did itten times, maybe did it five
times I don't know what yournumber was but at a certain
point you just stopped.
You stopped and you went on todo something else.

He's kind of moved to the backof the list.
Now he's an accountant.
Can you think of anything worsefor someone who wants to be a
(06:52):
forest ranger than being anaccountant?
No, how many times have youallowed yourself to fail towards
whatever it is you want to do?
Did you actually give yourselfenough time?
You had this idea for abusiness.
You attempted it, attempted it.
(07:14):
You did it really hard for 30days, really hard for a year,
maybe for two years, I don'tknow but at a certain point you

It is the thing that calls toyou.
Here's what I'm going to imagine.

(12:43):
The failure that you're avoidingis the process you're supposed
to be going through, to breakthrough to the you that you're
actually supposed to be.
And if you give up at the first, second, 50th, hey, I don't
know how long it's going to take, but, man, it's so much better
(13:06):
to be in pursuit of somethingthat calls to you and your
spirit and to make it work.
Maybe it doesn't work the wayyou wanted it to, but you just
kept moving forward.
I'm not saying sell your house,sell everything you have.
That's not what I'm saying.
(13:27):
To do this thing?
That's not what I'm saying.
What I am saying is this Is itreally failure?
Is it?
Is it really failure?
It is it really failure or isit process?
And if you can flip yourthinking from that, I'm failing
at something to recognizing.
No, this is just process.
Whatever this is, it's part ofthe process.
(13:48):
It is necessary, it is anecessary.
Then the other side of it isyou get what you want.
Embrace it.
It's the best part of theprocess.
As a matter of fact, I'm goingto say this I have learned more
when things didn't work thanwhen things work.
They just work.
But when something doesn't work, you learn more when things
(14:13):
don't work that you're able toapply for the rest of your life.
I had this conversation withthis gentleman and he was, he
just got.
He was talking to me about hiswife and it's the second
marriage and you know his firstmarriage.
They were together for three,four years and he his current
wife had been married for 16years and I said what was the
(14:36):
difference?
Because he was open about it.
He's like, yeah, he's married,da, da, da, da.
And I said what was thedifference between then and now?
He said, man, that's a reallygood question.
He's like I actually have theanswer.
Here's what he told me.
He's like the first time Ithought everything had to be a
particular way.
The second time current wife herealizes that it's all process,
(15:00):
that nothing is fixed, it's allprocess and what they decided
to do was to make a consciouseffort to be the best that they
could individually for the otherperson.
But he would have never learnedthat had he not had his first
(15:20):
marriage.
Consider it your first business,consider it your first sport.
And you went out and you didyour first tryout and it didn't
work.
Whatever it is the first.
That doesn't work doesn't haveto mean it can never work.
It just means you need tocontinue to work.
It's not failure, it's process.
(15:42):
Hope you got value out of this.
Do me a favor Make sure thatyou comment, because I love to
see and learn from you.
I want to know what are thethings that you, what are the
things that you know, thatyou've learned about yourself,
that you know you need to bedoing and like, do it.
There's no value in not doingit, just come.
I'd love to have a chance tosee where your lives are, where
(16:04):
your minds are, take care, godbless.
If you actually took time tolearn about how incredible you
were, nothing would ever stop.
You See, the definition ofsight is the faculty or power of
seeing.
