The old adage goes that if you fear failure, you’ll never win.
This is something I used to buy into and used frequently. But over time, I worked with more and more people who were driven by a really powerful fear of failure and they were serially successful in their pursuits of excellence.
Their fear was actually a powerful fuel finding ways to win, rather than something that immediately precluded the possibility of winning.
As I thought more about this, I realised that for a long time, we’ve been so obsessed with success that we’ve missed the obvious power that knowledge of failure and how to avoid it brings to many people.
