Are you a business failure like me? Good for us. I mean REALLY good for us!
We all learn from mistakes and experiences.
As noted in the video below, it takes several, if not hundreds and sometimes thousands, of failures before we succeed.
How has your past failure motivated you?
One of my past failures was public speaking – A HUGE fear of many, many Americans.
In fact, it’s the #1 fear of people in America. Guess what’s #2?
Death.
Yep – most people are more afraid to speak in front of people than to die. And to some people, they are basically the same thing!
I, too, used to get really freaked out, scared to death, and tremble when I had to speak in front of a group – classmates, peers, you name it. And this was before I really had anything on the line, or anything that I was personally hoping to get out of giving the presentation, other than a grade or pat on the back.
After that, I did ironically end up in a career as a corporate trainer, speaking in front of groups as large as 500 people.
But even after that and when I was in business for myself, the first time I had to address a packed room of well-dressed business people that on the whole were older and more experienced than me, all those old feelings came rushing back.
Every time I used to say to myself:
- “Why should these people listen to me?”
- “Who am I to tell them how to do this?”
- “I wonder if I can get out of this somehow – fake illness, maybe??”
Well, I’m glad I didn’t. And I’m glad I found a great way to turn it all around and make public speaking an important part of my life and then my business.
And interestingly, I think you’ll be glad I turned it around, too.
Because my success after failure is about to pay off for you too.
Yeah, that was a little bit of a teaser for you.
