How To Punch Failure in The Face

Failing Forward Fridays are our way of sharing with you fails for the week and how we made them work for us to keep working towards our goals.

Failing Forward Fridays is a concept that encourages people to embrace failure as a natural and necessary part of the learning and growth process. It involves taking time each week to reflect on the failures or setbacks experienced during the week and using these experiences as an opportunity to learn, grow, and improve.

Rather than seeing failure as something to be ashamed of, Failing Forward Fridays encourages individuals to view it as a stepping stone to success.

By embracing failure and using it as a tool for growth, individuals can become more resilient, creative, and better equipped to handle challenges in both their personal and professional lives.

My friend Dinah Goodman and I are sharing the behind-the-scenes of us creating our events and showing you how to turn your setbacks into success. Success is inevitable if you are willing to put in the work.

🔮Let's talk about VISION. 🔮 Ever wondered why some businesses soar while others stumble? It all boils down to having a clear vision. As a fellow believer in the power of dreams and determination, I think you'll appreciate this: 1. Higher Failure Rate: Picture a ship without a map or a compass. That's what a business without a vision is like. They struggle to define their long-term goals, leading to a higher chance of failure. 2. Lack of Direction: Imagine driving without a destination in mind. Businesses without vision face the same dilemma. Priorities become blurred, decisions get tangled, and resources go to waste. 3. Difficulty in Attracting Investors: Investors seek clarity and direction. A business without a vision often finds it challenging to attract the financial support it needs to grow. 4. Employee Disengagement: Just like you, Sarah, employees thrive when they know where they're headed. A visionless business can see morale and engagement take a nosedive. So, here's the deal: I'm The Confidence Coach, and I help incredible women build unshakable confidence and create a clear path to success. Let's turn your dreams into a strategic plan. 💪✨ Ready to discover the power of YOUR vision? Book a FREE Setbacks to Success Intensive call with me now: defeatfailure.com

Doing what challenges you the most to stay motivated may feel a little odd at first. One of the ways that this motivates you is by giving you a sense of accomplishment. There are plenty of good reasons that we give ourselves for not getting these things done. It makes complete sense in the moment to put it off, not make it a priority, and keep putting those things that challenge us off to another day.

So, we are going to go over some tools on how to get started taking on the things that challenge us so you can start to allow the challenges to excite you.  You must do those things that challenge you the most first.  The fear is what has been stopping you, but on the other hand, maybe you stopped challenging yourself at all. Are you pushing yourself? Do you have bigger goals? If you don't that's a different thing.  If you do and you know that you have been making excuses for not getting them done.  You must make them a priority.
