Failure = Success

Last week, I had a call that I was totally unprepared for. I didn’t know the details about a project we’re working on, and it showed.

Lesson learned: Always prepare thoroughly before each call and be ready for unexpected questions.

Failures like this are uncomfortable, but they're how we grow. The only way to improve is through those moments where we fail. 

If you aren't failing, you aren't learning.

What are some recent failures of yours?
