2. This has taught me that nothing in life is easy and that you will only truly succeed in life if you work your butt off and put your blinders on until you have achieved your goals. Also, you need to want it more than the next guy. There are 10 other people who want what you want and you need to prove that you want to succeed more than they do by working 10 times harder.
3. To put it simply, I don't like failing. No one likes to fail. But I have come to the realization that trying avoid to failure has only held me back and kept me stuck in my comfort zone. The only way I can continue to progress in life is to look failure in the eye and say "I am no longer afraid of you". Only then will I start to make strides in a way that will propel me forward. This class has definitely given me reasons to want to take more risks without being so afraid of what might happen if things don't work out.
Hey Brandon! Great post. I think you have an awesome idea of failure. We really need to learn from it and not only does failure lead to success, but also our want and drive to reach our goals. I really enjoyed reading about your experience and your perception of failure.

ReplyDeleteI think this is very interesting. I felt the same way when I was working for a financial management firm. This class has taught me that you must take more risks. Here is my assignment. http://entreprenuershipisamindset.blogspot.com/2016/04/celebrating-failure.html
ReplyDeleteThat is a very inspiring story! I love how you chose something that is still in the process of being completed. I would love to see a follow up post about it in the summer to see how it goes. But for now i hope you continue to do well in your company and that everything blows up super big after you graduate.
