Fail, learn, move FORWARD - Ray Dalio - #Entspresso

Good morning, Believe Nation! Today's message is fail, learn, and move forward.

Failure is a part of the learning process. Right? What's the risk of failure? What, you'll be embarrassed? Or risk of failure— how do you distinguish failure from learning? In your whole life, you know, failure implies that it's stopped, that the game stops, right? If it's part of a— you're failing and then you learn, then that learning is part of the moving forward. Right? So that is what the process is like. Fail, learn, move forward and constantly do that because you're cutting edge. You're going where people haven't been before in inventiveness. That's exciting to those people. So that's a different kind of approach to life, right? It's a different way of being.

It blows my mind how many entrepreneurs are still afraid of failure. You have to understand that you fail your way to success. Whenever you try anything new, you're gonna fail at it, and most people are so afraid to fail that they don't even try, and that's the biggest failure of all. The only way that it's going to be a failure is if you don't learn from it and move forward. You just take those steps back, you don't think, "How can I become better? How can I do it better the next time?" and move forward towards your goal. Whenever you learn anything the first time, you suck at it, right? We've talked about this a lot on the channel. You fail, you fail, you fail. Every time you fail, a little bit less, a little bit less severely, and you get better and better and better and better and better. Until you eventually make it. Nobody ever hits it on the first try. So be comfortable with failure. Understand that it's going to happen. It's not pleasant, it's not happy, but you can't totally avoid it. Just accept that if you take these small failures, don't go out and make a huge big failure, start these small failures, build your way up, and eventually you'll become successful. So my question of the day for you today is, I wanna know what you're gonna try today. What are you gonna try today that's different that there's a risk of failing at, but it's a small task that you will try and implement today in your business. Leave it in the comments below. I'm curious to see what you're going to do. Thank you guys so much for watching. Have an amazing day. Continue to believe, and I'll see you again tomorrow morning for another shot of espresso.

I wake up every morning. Espresso keeps me going. I wake up every morning. Espresso keeps me going. I wake up every morning.
