Episode 5 - The Importance of Failure
In this episode, we talk about the F-word…Failure. As hockey Hall of Famer, Wayne Gretzky famously said, “You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” Failure is such an important step in reaching any goal you have. Every time you fail, you have an opportunity to learn and grow that you wouldn’t have if you had never tried. I try to embrace this idea in both my personal and professional life.
Recently, I experienced failure in recording one of the first episodes of this podcast. I was nervous because audio recording is new to me and I wanted to make sure to implement all of the incredible coaching I’ve received from my business coach and my speaking coach. I also believe in just getting started, taking inspired action, rather than waiting for everything to be perfect. I learned so much through this process and I feel so good about the final product now!
