[00:54] In today’s conversation I share with you my own journey with failure and my perspective on why failure is necessary to grow your business.

[1:50]: Our renovation has finally started. We can’t wait to have an outdoor area to enjoy!

[3:25]: I am a Type 3 Enneagram, Capricorn, and high D personality - none are suited to handle failure or mistakes well. However I believe, no matter your personality style, you can fail forward.

[4:48]: This is my second business. I talk about my previous business and work experience that has got me to where I am today.

[6:00]: When I fell pregnant with my first child we were in the middle of setting up a bricks and mortar business.

[7:17]: My first business required so much from me, at the same time as I was figuring out motherhood.

[8:15]: My husband and I decided to sell our first business in order to have a second child. At the time, it felt like a failure.

[9:26]: Failing at something and being a failure are two very different things. It’s ok for the outcome to not be what you expected.

[10:45]: My journey took some twists and turns, but I couldn’t have been here without what I initially perceived as a failure.

[11:33]: My relationship with failure is acceptance. I know without a doubt I am going to fail in the future. But I also know that I always rebound faster each time. This is failing forward.

[12:40]: How can you become better at failing? #1 Accept that failure is inevitable.

[13:31]: #2 When you do fail, you always have options.

[14:20]: My mum used to say “Everything happens for a reason”. Whatever hard situation you find yourself in, something good will come of it.

[15:15]: #3 Reserve judgement

[16:50]:  When you’re able to handle, embrace and move through failure - your business will be so much better for it.
