That line is true…

When your best isn’t good enough…you FAIL!

But what people don’t always talk about is the fact that if you continue to

fail you will become a winner.

That is correct.

In fact those who don’t fail are the losers.  Because they never try.

To achieve high goals in life that few others rarely achieve you will fail numerous

times to get there.

The greatest teams in NFL history have won only 6 super bowls out of 48 or so.

That means the greatest team in NFL history failed 42 other times.  Good for a

12.5% success rate, that’s it!

The greatest authors rarely turn out like Harper Lee (who wrote to Kill A

Mockingbird, made it a best seller and never wrote again) they are writers

who have a hit and three misses, one more decent one, two misses, then an

instant classic!

Perseverence through your failure and how you react to it and what you learn

from it lead to success.

If you never try you will NEVER win.  In sports, music, sales, your own business,

etc.

Teachers every day in inner city schools may only reach and connect with 3 out

of 100 kids.  But isn’t it worth it to reach those 3 kids and change their lives

forever rather than be scared of failing to reach the other 97 and not even

trying.

The next time someone tries to talk you out of doing something, trying something,

because the odds aren’t good…you never know what will happen…TRY IT!

So long as it is not a ponzi scheme or something that will put you into debt

or risk the lives of your children or wife…TRY IT!

We too often in business keep the status quo and keep ourselves as average

not failing…but not GREAT companies!

We need more greatness, more trial and failure, that will lead to more success.

We need more Thomas Edison’s, Mark Cuban’s, Tom Brady’s (you think he is

satisfied with failing in the playoffs the last 3 years just b/c he has 3 super bowl

rings), and less people who are satisfied with being 100% average, boring, and

mediocore.

Fail today…become a winner tomorrow…and build your business into greatness

after you repeat that cycle 50 more times!

Thanks for reading everyone…enjoy the FRIDAY!
