Embracing Failure

Few people will argue with the old adage that, “Experience is the best teacher.”  Experience is all about trying something new, failing, learning from that failure and then trying again until you get it right.  When you think about it, that’s how you learned how to ride a bicycle.  The only problem is that many people fear failure even more than they fear snakes!  Their fear keeps them from stepping outside their comfort zone and trying new things.  As a result, the don’t learn, they don’t grow and they miss out on many of the wonderful and exciting things that life has to offer.

To fear failure is to fear success because the road to success is always paved with a series of failures that someone learned from along the way.  So, do yourself a favor–step outside your comfort zone and try something new that you’ve always wanted to try.  View the challenge as if you are getting ready to learn how to ride a bike.  Instead of concentrating on the initial failures that are going to occur, focus on how good it’s going to feel when you finally succeed!  Believe me, if you do this, you’ll be really glad you did.

  Imagine a workplace where every employee is engaged with their work … where every employee shows up each day excited about giving every bit of energy, creativity and passion to performing their job. These employees don’t need to be motivated because they already are and they channel their motivation toward creating a competitive edge for their company that can’t be easily copied. They’re constantly making innovative changes to products, services and customer experiences while providing superior levels of customer service which results in loyal customers. This means higher levels of repeat and referral business which, in turn, translates into significant increases in market share. In addition, absenteeism and turnover rates for these fully engaged employees are far below industry averages because they absolutely love what they do. This book presents a new management model that guarantees an employee engagement level of 100%. If you implement this model in your organization, every one of your employees will become engaged with their work; all working at their full potential. Think of what it would mean to the success of your business or organization if you could get all of your employees engaged with their work.

Is Your Ego Showing?

Ross Reck writes, “Many people attempt to gain influence by calling attention to themselves–things they’ve accomplished, places they’ve been, things they own, people they know and so forth.  While such behavior comes quite naturally to most of us, it does little to improve your standing with those around you because most people tend to resent such behavior.  What does improve your standing is to call attention to the deeds and accomplishments of others.  This works extremely well for two reasons:  First, when you call attention to the accomplishments of someone else, you make that person feel really good which naturally endears them to you.  Second, you come across to those who observed your behavior as a caring, giving human being–the kind of person they want to spend more time with.  So, the next time you’re tempted to call attention to some of your personal deeds and accomplishments realize that you won’t be benefitting yourself by doing so.  Instead, direct that attention to the accomplishments of those around you and watch your level of influence take off.” [1]
