Maybe You Need to Go "F" Yourself

This is a small chunk of Wednesday’s wisdom. “If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.” Thomas J. Watson

Okay someone will disagree with this however I know it is inevitable, because we are supposed to “only” focus on success. Really? Hmmmmm….isn’t there a saying about insanity and doing the same thing over and over expecting different results?  What may have been the road for one just may not be the same path for another.

Okay we all have failed, and sometimes have swept it under the rug due to pride; been there, done that. The difference is accepting the failure, finding the lesson, and moving forward. Stop and reflect on the positive and let go of the negative, see the door that just opened.

We all have read about many successful people and their success, however the part of failing is left out. Why? There is no light without knowing about darkness, and there is no lesson without a mistake or failing. Look at the whole picture to gage who, what, where, when, why, and definitely the how. It was from their lessons they learned and are able to share their knowledge with the world. Is it time for you to learn and go “F” yourself?  Now go share your failures and lessons, and go write your story.

 Real estate is a people business and you deserve to be treated with the utmost respect, as well as having an agent that will "Do the right thing ALL the time, EVERYTIME."

I believe in challenging the status quo by being different, being original, leading the way, and understanding that attitude reflects leadership.

As a mentor to many youth in our area, I build my business to help them in their path and journey to being leaders in their own right. Please join me in helping to provide for them their path to success.

..and if only we could skip the whole part where we spend way too much time beating up on ourselves over our failures before we can let it go and move forward. Maybe that's part of the lesson too.

Oh, the lessons we have to learn along the way.  Failure= lesson = move forward = mantra. :)

Someone said each failure brings us closer to success.  I'm a believer.
