Now, for years I’ve been an entrepreneur, actually for decades, and one of the things that I keep seeing over in the personal development of business development field is getting up early and the value.
We’ve heard the old axiom “the early bird gets the worm”. But what cost is that? Now, during my career I’ve really focused on getting up early, whether it be for the fitness industry when I owned a gym or for just the entrepreneurial lifestyle – owning a business and wanting to get up before everyone else did so I could be as productive and get ahead of the curve.
So what am I talking about? Celebrating failures? I mean, you fail, you fail. Right?
Totally wrong.
It’s a difference in mindset. Now the difference between an entrepreneur and a wantrepreneur or a successful person versus someone who just wishes someday to be successful is the ability to fail, fail often, and fail forward.
So, one of the tips that I’ve gotten over the years from very successful people was the ability, not only, to try but the ability to fail and then celebrate those failures. You see, when we fail, we only fail if we don’t learn the lesson.

Now when we talk about knowing your why, the reason this came up for me was I was talking to a client of mine and what they wanted was location independence. Now, by most accounts this person was extremely successful in all areas of their life. They had a fantastic business where they have had a tremendous growth, it’s bringing a lot of revenue to them, they had kind of “made it” so to speak.
