Live at the Edge of Your Capability

failHey Moguls, today I want to share with you some really interesting mindset knowledge that was recently shared with me...

It really hit home with me—Jason Lucchesi—and I think it will resonate with you as much as it has with me.

It comes from a super-successful guy. He was talking about something we all experience in our lifetime—repeatedly:

FAILURE

He says we have to:

  • Fail early
  • Fail often
  • Fail forward

Man, I love that.

But you might be thinking, ‘Um, Jason, I don’t want to fail!’

And I hear that, but the problem is that most people have a negative relationship with failure…

But here’s the thing: failure is a massive part of being able to be successful.

So, you have to get comfortable with failure. You have to actually seek failure.

Why?

Failure is where all of the lessons are.

Let me make this tangible for you…

If you go to the gym to work out, you're actually seeking failure. You want to take your muscles to the point where you get to failure because that's where the adaptation is. That's where growth is.

See what I mean?

jordanSuccessful people fail a lot, they fail a whole lot more than they succeed, but they extract the lessons from the failure and they use those lessons and the energy and the new wisdom to come around to the next phase of success.

You’ve just got to take a shot… pull the trigger… get ‘er done.

You have to live at the edge of your capabilities.

You’ve got to live where you're almost certain you're going to fail.

That's why we practice—practice is controlled failure…

You're getting to your limit, so you do more or something different and you get to your limit, and then you push even more and you get to another limit...

You work and do and try… and then finally, you can do it.

Failure actually helps you to recognize the areas where you need to evolve.

So remember: fail early, fail often, fail forward.
