In this episode, we talk about some key lessons I learned from one of the epic failures of my life. It took many years to process, and if I’m totally honest, still stings from time to time.
But that’s the way failures go sometimes, leaving us a in trail of could have, should haves in their wake. There is good news though. They also can be the seeds of future success.
We all know that failure is inevitable for anything worth doing. So we cannot let fear of failure stop us from trying. Instead, we can armor ourselves with a few key strategies to plan for success, but learn from failure.
