Failing your way to success

Real Estate Agent with The Kelly Domaille Team at Keller Williams Premier Realty

Are you afraid to fail? 

If you are, then chances are you won't be successful. Everyone who has ever succeeded has failed. Many times. Some even miserably. 

If you aren't afraid to fail, you welcome crisis with open arms. You know its definition: 

Crisis = Danger + Opportunity 

You see the opportunity within the crisis and take full advantage of it. Sometimes it may not be very obvious or quick to show itself, but you have patience. You know it's there and you look and wait for it. When you see and realize what your opportunity is, you capitalize on it and make it the best it can be. Every step of the way, with every opportunity you run with, you are taking huge leaps toward your ultimate success. 

The more crises you have, the more opportunities you have. You've heard the old adages "Pushing the Envelope" and "If you're not getting rejected, you're not doing enough". These aren't just some lines made up by a person sitting on their couch; they are actual truths about success and what it takes to get there. 

There is no "Security" - don't chase it - take a chance and do what you love to do, even if you're not good, because if you love it, you will do it all the time. If you do it all the time you will get better and as you get better, more people will notice you. They will then spend more money with you and you will eventually become a success. 

So, don't be afraid to fail.

I know I'll get the quote wrong, and I don't even remember who said it, but it goes something like "Many opportunities are wasted for want of a little courage".   The essence of the quote is right, if not the quote itself... thanks for reminding me of it.

Great post!  I have said the same thing for years.  If you're afraid to fail, then you'll never succeed.  There is not one, NOT one successful person (insert your definition of 'successful' here) that did not fail at least once on their path to success.

So true! I'm glad to see others see the opportunities in crisis as well!

How right you are-if we never try we will never know if we can succeed. If at first you don't succeed try try and try again.
