Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, everybody, Leo Weston here, Welcome back to Built to
Win Daily CEO mindset Drops. Today we're tackling something that
can feel pretty uncomfortable. Failure. Yeah, I know, not exactly
the Sunshine and Rainbow's topic, right, but trust me, this
(00:20):
is a game changer because, let's be real, life throws curveballs.
We all stumble, sometimes spectacularly. The difference between those who
crumble and those who rise to conquer how they view failure.
Think of it like this, Failure isn't the opposite of success.
(00:41):
It's part of the journey. It's the stepping stone, the
learning experience, the secret ingredient that makes victory all the sweeter.
So today we're gonna flip the script on failure and
turn it into your biggest teacher, ready to learn how
to race those setbacks. Here are five key takeaways. One,
(01:04):
redefine failure. Forget the doom and gloom narrative. Failure isn't
a full stop. It's a comma in the story of
your life. It's an opportunity to course correct, adjust, and
ultimately come back stronger. Think about those iconic entrepreneurs Elon, Musk,
Oprah Winfrey, even JK. Rowling. They all faced rejection, setbacks,
(01:30):
and plenty of failures along the way, but they didn't
let it define them. Two analyze don't dwell, why ever
heard that saying hindsight is twenty twenty? Well? Use it
when you hit a roadblock. Don't just wallow in the disappointment.
Take a step back. Analyze what went wrong? Was it
(01:51):
a lack of planning? Did you underestimate something? Were your
expectations unrealistic? Once you identify the cult, you can start
crafting a plan to avoid repeating those mistakes. Three Embrace experimentation.
The fear of failure often paralyzes us from taking risks,
(02:14):
but remember true innovation comes from stepping outside your comfort
zone and trying new things. Don't be afraid to experiment,
even if it means things don't always go according to plan.
You learn more from the failed experiments than from the
successful one sometimes. Four Seek feedback. We all have blind spots.
(02:38):
Sometimes we need an outsider's perspective to see what we're missing.
So when you experience a setback, reach out to trusted mentors, friends,
or colleagues and ask for honest feedback. They might offer
insights you haven't considered helping you gain clarity and move
forward with renewed purpose. Five. Celebrate small victories. We often
(03:04):
get caught up in chasing the big winds that we
forget to appreciate the little victories along the way. So
as you navigate your journey, celebrate those milestones, no matter
how small. Each step forward is a testament to your
resilience and growth. Ever felt like you're stuck in a
rut repeating the same mistakes over and over. You know
(03:29):
that feeling when failure feels like a constant shadow looming
over you. Let me tell you. I get it. We've
all been there. But here's a thing. Imagine if every
time you stumbled, instead of falling back into self doubt,
you viewed it as a valuable lesson. Think about Thomas Edison.
He famously said I have not failed. I've just found
(03:51):
ten thousand ways that won't work. See what he did there.
He reframed the narrative. He embraced those failures as stepping
stones on his path to success. And let's be honest,
we wouldn't have light bulbs without a few failed experiments, right,
So imagine this. You're working on a project and it
(04:14):
doesn't go exactly as planned. Instead of getting discouraged, you
take a deep breath, analyze what went wrong and brainstorm solutions.
You reach out to a mentor for feedback, celebrate the
small winds along the way, and keep pushing forward with
renewed energy. That's the power of embracing failure. Bottom line,
(04:37):
failure is not your enemy. It's your teacher. It's there
to guide you, shape you, and ultimately make you stronger.
So next time you face a setback, don't let fear
hold you back. Remember these key takeaways. Redefine failure, analyze
(04:58):
instead of dwell, embrace a experimentation, seek feedback, and celebrate
those small victories. Now, go out there, take some risks
and remember the only true failure is giving up before
you even start. And hey, if this episode resonated with you,
be sure to share it with your friends and join
(05:20):
the conversation on social media. Use a built to win
and let's keep building each other up. Catch you in
the next episode for another dose of CEO mindset drops.
Until then, keep winning. This podcast is created with the
(05:42):
help of advanced AI to deliver thoughtful affirmations and positive
messages just for you.
