It’s a never ending journey of learning. If you’re not keeping up with what’s happening in the world, you’re a target of disruption. Also to quote judge Judy “you have two ears and one mouth for a reason, use them to listen”.
Embrace failure as a stepping stone to success, understanding that each setback is an opportunity to learn, grow and refine your approach.
Learning to embrace failure is probably one of the hardest things to learn
Honestly it's become a joy for me in my business this year as I attemptes to on board 4 different artists and ended up "firing" them each because they didn't meet my needs for a variety of reasons. This means I spent an extra year + executing a task aka a failure each time an artist did not workout but since finding the artist that works seamlessly with my vision I am grateful for all those failures and now I just see failures as me firing anything that isn't in alignment with my core intention/vision.
Few ways to be successful/make money:
- Be lucky
- Work hard and be lucky
- Work smart and be lucky
I.e. always account for the fact that there is randomness, and if you fail, don’t get all discouraged and try again.
For me it’s to always “keep a fire lit under your ass”
- comfortability kills
The best advice I ever got was it doesn’t matter how good your service or product is if no one knows about it
