Just like not all DIY home projects turn out like your Pinterest board... not all collaborations end in sunshine in rainbows. And some downright fail. Flop. Fizzle. Fallout.
Failure is inevitable when you're experimenting, trying something new, and collaborating with others. While it might not be so tasty in the moment, failure is full of invaluable wisdom if you're willing to look closer, learn from your fumbles, and, of course, try again.
In this episode, we get into the six flavors of failed collaborations, lessons learned, and how to move forward intentionally when things flop.
In the episode:
- Painting failure in a new light
- Vanilla Letdown (the Flop)
- Neopolitan Ghoster (the Ghoster)
- Rocky Road to Nowhere (the Fizzle)
- Tunafish Mint Chocolate Chip (the Mismatch)
- Salted Caramel Heartache (the Friendship Fallout)
- Triple Scoop Overload (the Self-Sabotage)
- Lessons learned to help you prevent future failures
- And more!
