Dealing with Failure


Orville Redenbacher? (or however you spell his name) the king of popcorn was a tireless worker. He had to try over and over to find the hybrid for the best popcorn. He went through 150,000 experiments a year to find the right one. It took several decades of failure to keep find success. He was able to sell it for 355 million dollars after he became successful. Failure is part of the game.
We must have the right perception and response to failure.
1. You will learn lessons.
2. There are no mistakes.
3. Repeat a lesson until it is learned.
4. Easy lessons will become harder.
5. You've learned a lesson when your actions change.
