Failure is a Mindset … for Better or for Worse

You …

See failure as a learning opportunity, as simply a step along your path.
Stretch yourself out of your comfort zone, knowing that it’s okay to take chances and make mistakes.
Embrace Thomas Watson Jr.’s (first President of IBM) view that “The way to succeed is to double your error rate.”

Hold those mindsets and you will ultimately be successful.

You …

Fear failure and see it as something to be avoided at all costs.
Stay safely within your comfort zone, sticking to what you know will work because you believe it’s more secure.
Worry you will fail before you even begin something new.

Hold those mindsets and you’ve dramatically decreased you chance of success.

You get to choose your perspective on failure … for better or worse.
