At the beginning of 2019, business coach Shanda Sumpter set a goal to fail 19 times in the next 12 months and publicly declared her goal.   Guess what happened?    By the time she hit her 7th failure that year, she'd already doubled her company.    Why? Because setting a goal to fail forced her to play BIG. She pushed herself to be brave, and the result was big time business growth and all kinds of opportunity.    I don't know about you, but Shanda's story makes me want to get busy failing.    So, while everybody else is busy talking about resolutions and goals and all their grand plans to make 2021 their best year ever, I'm actually setting the goal to fail 21 times in the next 12 months.    And that's what we're diving into in this episode. You'll learn:   Why failure can make this your best year yet Exactly why we're so afraid to fail, and how to do the hard things anyway The four main types of risk The price we pay for avoiding mistakes The power we unleash when we overcome our fear And exactly how we overcome the fear that cripples us so we can get busy failing forward towards our biggest goals!   Subscribe and Review   Thanks so much for joining me this week.
