Hello, Jason Fladlien here from DailySeminar.com, and today I’m going to discuss with you how to handle failure and what to do when you mess up. Let’s face it, everybody messes up. If you’re not making decisions constantly and making commitments and standing by those decisions and taking action, then you’re not going to get anywhere. But what happens when you make a commitment, when you make a decision, when you make a firm action that you put out there into the world, you know 3 times out of 10, probably going to be a failure or a mess-up. And that’s after you get a system in place.
It’s not that entrepreneurs have the magical, golden touch where everything they touch just turns into money. No, it’s just that they get the failures out of their system and then eventually they get lucky once in a while, and that’s where their big money comes from. Then they get the reputation, because you only get the notoriety for your successes for the most part. Most failures are minor and can be easily corrected with more action, while most successes, once they’re out there, they’re the things that everybody talks about.
