 Let me ask you a question. How many times in your life have you failed me personally? I failed millions and millions of times. Now, what's really important is it's not how many times you failed, but how many times you got up. See Confucius, he has a great saying, our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising every time we fall. Fantastic. So I'm going to be teaching you some simple strategies that you can do to overcome your failures. I'll be talking about why I think most people have failures in the first place. And this is the reason why most of us, such as myself included, is we dream about these grandiose goals that we have. We want to create a billion dollar company. We want to have a six pack. We want to have, you know, a brand new Ferrari or we want to have that perfect relationship with somebody. So we put everything on a pedestal this high, and we go through the process of trying to accomplish this goal that's so high up there. However, that takes a long time to get there. It's like us looking at Mount Everest. We're not just going to simply look at it and jump from the top of the peak. No, we go peak by peak by peak. Eventually we get there. And this is why most people fail. They, their goals are way too high. I'm not telling you don't have amazing goals and big, ambitious ideas and dream. However, you need to break that down apart. Instead of having this big gigantic goal, you need to create small micro goals that you can win at. Okay. Now I'll get to that in a second. I just want to kind of talk about a couple of main things that can kind of help you with the failure before we get into the micro things because that's kind of like the icing on top. So the first thing is when an individual fails, a lot of times we like to point our fingers at other people. It's your fault. It's his fault. It's her fault, but it's never ever my fault. No, God forbid it's my fault that I fucked up. We never think like that because remember human beings aren't rational creatures. So the first thing that you have to do is take extreme ownership of your situation. It takes a certain individual, certain human being to raise their hand and say, it's my fault to raise their hand and say, I take onus, I take full responsibility for what just happened. And as soon as you take full extreme responsibility and ownership of said failures, everything else opens up for you. You are in charge now, nobody else. All the power, all the responsibility, everything that needs to be done is on you. That's a major psychological paradigm shift that happens in individual as soon as they take onus on accepting full extreme ownership. Number two, instead of then jumping right away and trying to figure out what your next move is or what your next pivot is, pause for a second and reflect on your failure, reflect on what just happened. I would analyze the failure and break it down. What did I do that caused me to fail? Warren Buffett, he has a great saying. It goes something like this, I may butcher it, but a smart man learns from his mistakes. A wise man learns from other people's mistakes. So I would analyze everything you did in that failure of yours and then create a thesis on how you can never ever do that again. And I would also before jumping into your next pivot or your next goal that you want to do, I would analyze other people's failures who had similar goals such as yourself and ask yourself, how can I not do these same mistakes they did? And how can I avoid the downfalls they did because they already laid it out for you. They've been there, done that. It's up to you to learn from their mistakes. Don't be a smart man, be a wise man. And then finally, get an advisory board around you. A lot of times we're too much in our own head and we get super thrilled and super excited for this brand new project or company or relationship or car or whatever it may be. And we don't really slow down to ask our peers around us. So get an advisory board and make sure they're your devil's advocate. Make sure that they question your motives. They question, why are you doing this? And make sure they're not frenemies. Those are the worst. Make sure you're there, you're true friends. If you're your true advisory board, true friends, they're gonna tell you point blank. It's like, Hey, I'm here. I don't think so you should do this or Hey, I'm here. You're an idiot, bro. Think of something else. Okay, so those are simple, simple things they can do. It takes me back to my first point I was talking about and that's a micro wins. I believe this is out of everything I said, I believe this is the most powerful thing they can do is these micro wins. And that is, so we said, you know, you want to reach a big goal cool and you failed. Okay. What you can do to get back on the horse right away is give yourself small daily goals that you can win. So let's say you're running a business and you failed, you know, you can't get to start up off the ground. You tried everything. Well, a simple thing that you can do is like instead of trying to get a million dollars in sales or whatever your KPIs are get one sale a day. And what this does is it releases dopamine in your body and your brain and in and now you create that gratification system that gamification system. This is how video games work. This is how gambling works. This is how sex works. We're all driven by that dopamine relationship with gratification. So figure out small micro wins they can do on day to day basis. And I would tie this in with the Jerry Seinfeld principle is I would have a don't break the chain. So for 31 days or 30 days in a month, every single day, you need to get a win. And if you don't get a win that day, I'll double that win for the next day. You don't want to break the chain. That's a whole point. Every single day, you get a win. It's a compound effect. You know, you slowly start getting momentum. You start getting more motivation. You start getting more inspiration. You actually see something tangible being created in front of your own eyes as opposed to I need to reach this big goal, but nothing's working. You're actually seeing results on a day to day basis, you know, don't be the person that does this, you know, you guys probably heard this before. If the only tool you have is a hammer, then everything you see is a nail. Don't be that hammer. And don't nail everything down to the ground. Be strategic. Use the words of Warren Buffett. Be a wise man. Use the words of Confucius, accept failure. Yes, but study them. Study other people's failures and create a system. Okay. A system, a framework for success as opposed to going out there and blindly doing whatever you got to do. I know it's fun. Trust me. I know I've been there, done that a bunch of times and it's very painful. And the worst types of failures are those deep emotional scars that you have in your mind. That's hard to erase. It's hard to overcome. So the more you can become strategic, like a chess player, like a general and analyze the system you're about to do, the more success or the more likelihood mathematically you are to have success. I hope you really enjoyed this video about how to overcome failures. What I love from you today is leave a comment below. I like to know what your systems are for overcoming failures. And if I can help you in any way, like I said, leave a comment below. Have an amazing day. Adios. Peace.
