Short motivational video by Donald Burns advising how to 'break free from mediocrity' by (1) embracing failure as lessons to learn from and (2) making plans while remaining flexible and ready to adapt or change course when needed.
So how do you break free from mediocrity? First, you got to embrace failure. When you fail, don't see it as a defeat. See it as a lesson. What went wrong? What can you do better next time? Use failure as a stepping stone to success. Second, you need to have a plan. But don't get too attached to it. Life is unpredictable, and things don't always go according to plan. That's why it's essential to be flexible, to adapt and and to adjust as you go. Success isn't just about sticking to the plan no matter what. It's about being smart enough to change course when you need to.
If your restaurant only works because you work 80 hours a week, it doesn't work.
