I am always amused by people who’ve had a few setbacks in life who complain that they just don’t think they’ll ever be successful because they’ve done everything it takes and it hasn’t worked.
The truth of the matter is they haven’t done enough to fail enough to be successful. Every highly successful person I know has failed A LOT more than average people ever fail. Every big success story I know of had at least one major failure before hitting it big. Walt Disney went bankrupt, as did J.C. Penney and Henry Ford (TWICE).
Watch this great video about famous failures and get out there and start failing!
I think today was the day I had to see and hear this as I am feeling slightly worried as I resigned out of a job where the new Owners are impossible Am worried as I am 72 years old and hope that a new door will open for me.
Thanks for sending this blog to me on the right day
