What to Do When Things Fail (Risky Business Series: Part 1) 🕷️
These days, we see a lot of highlight reels. A lot of successes, wins, accomplishments, achievements, celebrations, and not-so-humble brags.
What we don’t always see or hear about are the flops, mistakes, and failures. The flailing and wailing that results when something doesn’t go at all how we hoped and planned, or it just doesn’t go… at all.
In this week’s episode, we’re going to talk about what to do when we fail.
"What to Do When Things Fail" is part one of my October Risky Business Series in which we'll be talking about: failing, what do to when business is slow, horrific stuff I see in content, getting ghosted, and how to make planning less scary.
In this week's episode:
- The definition of failure
- Facing the facts and sharing the reality of failure as a part of life and business
- Two of my best-kept failure secrets
- Four steps to help you fail forward and move with intention
- Should you ask for outside help to handle your failures?
- Do you need to announce when you fail?
