Episode #391
Persistence alone doesn’t guarantee success, but lack of persistence guarantees failure—winners and losers often have a similar number of attempts.
Learning between attempts is the differentiator; use after-action reviews, coaching, or journaling to iterate and improve before the next try.
Embrace intelligent failures and avoid preventable ones; most winners begin as losers, so treat early setbacks as data, not destiny.
The lack of persistence will guarantee you fail.
Every winner starts as a loser.
Not every loser becomes a winner.
In this episode, I take the concept of Success Through Failure from being “motivational” and “inspirational” and examine it with a more scientific approach.
Some of you (like me!) need to hear not just the emotionally appealing stories, but also the science and the truth behind achieving success despite— and because of— failure.
So if you are one of those people, then this episode is for you.
Of course, we’re not just going to look through a “boring” academic lens, but through real-world learning that applies directly to you and can change your life.
By the end of this episode, you’ll have a single, actionable takeaway that you can apply and put into work so you can turn failure into success. Hit play now!
