Why You Need to Fail and Feel the Pain - Tom Bilyeu on IQ 69

Mindset Persistence 2019-11-11 | Embrace failure is a special episode of Inside Quest where Tom Bilyeu talks about one of the most powerful things in entrepreneurship and in life: failure.

"Is it ok to fail?"

Why are you asking that question?

Do you want a place to hide?

Do you want job security?

If you want to own your own life the first thing you have to throw out your window is job security.

And the first thing you need to embrace is that failure is the most potent learning opportunity that will ever be.

If you actually show that you've learned from your mistakes, it almost doesn't matter how big the mistake was. It only matters have you earned the reputation of being someone who learns from their mistakes.

Failing doesn't make you a failure.

If you fail, move quickly beyond it.

The reputation you want to have is: "When you hit an obstacle you move on."

To get to the results you have to pick your self up, brush yourself off, get the skill you were lacking that lead to your failure in the first place. Learn from that mistake. Figure out how it's applicable, show the world that it's not gonna stop you, it's not gonna slow you down.

You're gonna keep going.

You're gonna find that fire in your gut. You feed that fire. You turn it to something real and you become unstoppable.

Why?
Because you chose to be unstoppable!
