It's Not Failing; It's Learning: Reframing Business Failures as Growth Opportunities
Show Notes

It happens to all of us. We hate it, we'd love to avoid it, and sometimes we pretend it never happened. What am I referring to? I'm talking about all of those times you've felt like a failure. When you didn't achieve your goals, everything felt like it went wrong, or you felt like you weren't far "enough." But in this podcast episode, I want to challenge that thought. Was it really a failure? I'm going to argue that actually it was just a huge learning experience. Whether it was something you learned about yourself, your business, other people, or the world you live in, that experience had/has something very valuable for you. It's offering you a lesson and giving you a path forward, showing you more clearly the path to your goals and ideas of success. In fact, these "failing" experiences can be far more valuable than the "succeeding" experiences. Feeling skeptical? Grab your earbuds and let's dive in for a heartfelt business chat. I share with you examples from my business journey, give you tips on how to learn more from each experience, and talk about the large variety of lessons that we learn - almost always from the experience of failing.
