Double this BAD THING and succeed?
“Would you like for me to give you a formula for success?
It’s quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure.”
-Thomas J. Watson, founder of IBM
.
I really like that quote. And you can take it to the bank,
coming from a guy whose company has made billions
and even lost over 5 billion in just one year.
.
He knew that success simply comes from a LOT of
failures. Some big. Some small.
.
Failing isn’t natural for most of us though.
.
We were taught at school to take grades and pass. If
we didn’t get the right grade, we failed.
.
And if we brought a report card home that had a big
red F+ on it, we felt like we failed our parents.
.
Failing wasn’t something we were ever encouraged
to do.
.
It’s something that we have to learn to get over though,
because in reality?
.
Failing isn’t failing.
.
Failing is succeeding!
.
Doing nothing is the only way you’ll lose here.
.
Something that I like to do is to ask myself, “”What’s
the worst that can happen?””
.
Seriously, when you’re fighting doing something that
you need to do to get ahead financially, when you feel the
resistance, ask yourself that question.
.
You spend $100 bucks on a business opportunity.
.
What’s the worst that can happen? You lose $100
dollars? Can you handle that! Sure you can.
.
Is that too tough for you to take?
.
As long as your smart about things, the risk is usually
just created in our heads.
.
We think we can’t “fail”, because if we do, WE’RE a
failure.
.
But it’s just not true!
.
Here’s another one to ask yourself…
.
What’s the BEST CASE SCENARIO that could
happen here?
.
So maybe you spend the $100 and make $200 profit
the first month, boy wasn’t it worth it?…
.
Think both ways, be willing to fail, and take action.
.
Fail twice as much, again, it’s Sir Thomas formula
to success. And it’s a great one.
.
I double dog dare ya, put this to the test.
.
And the best for you will be if you can get all of the
creation and time consuming stuff out of the way
right now.
.
Just get going! What’s the worst that could happen?
.
There are many opportunities we have shared on this
website. Take a look at them again…
.
Look around yourself, but do something.
.
Here’s to your success!
