since there are bunch of new ppl, let me explain:
- everybody celebrates wins. but not many i have seen celebrate failures. yet, failures are not optional, they are a MUST if you want to achieve any sort of business success.
- also, you hear a lot of successes - in Skoolers, in other communities. ppl are eager to share amazing things that happened. so, you might fall into the trap of "survival bias". if only thing you hear is wins, you might believe it is a norm. it is not. win is an outlier.
- finally, people love to share a hero journey story. because it's good script. it's likable. "things were bad, i took a chance, things became great - i am winner now". nothing wrong with it. or? so, we are here share raw, pure FAILURES - not covered with the success story. as is.
===
now, let's get clear - what is FAILURE in our playbook?
- it's an action you did and the result was not what you expected/wanted to be
and what failure is NOT?
- when you don't take action - post, call, launch - that's not failure. that's STALLING in our playbook. and that needs to be fixed, not celebrated.
finally, why do we CELEBRATE failure? failure means you took action.
- action deserves celebration.
- courage to take action deserves celebration.
- courage to share your failure deserves celebration.
