Listen "EPISODE 197 : Lessons Learned from Past Business Failures"
Episode Synopsis
Ready to flip your perspective on failure? In this episode, I'm getting real about the mistakes, missteps, and flops that most business owners (yep, including me!) would rather sweep under the rug. But instead of hiding them, I’m shining a light on the quiet failures ... the launches that tanked, the ideas nobody wanted, those “crickets” moments that leave you wondering if you’re even cut out for this.
I walk you through my own behind-the-scenes stumbles (hello, ghosted product launches and empty seats at workshops!) and show you how each of those moments was actually the spark for something better. Expect some candid stories, actionable strategies, and the kind of advice you won’t hear from someone pretending to have it all figured out.
Here’s what you’ll get out of this episode:
A new lens for looking at failure: It’s not the end ... it’s often the start of something bigger if you’re willing to listen.
Simple ways to track your lessons: I’m sharing how I turned guesses into growth, and why documenting what didn’t work is your secret weapon.
Setting benchmarks: I’ll help you figure out how to define success for YOUR business projects, so you’re not flying blind or losing sleep over comparison.
Owning your mistakes and turning them into action: Tough love here .... I share why taking responsibility puts you back in control (and how it changed my business).
Turning reflection into strategy: It’s not just about learning from the past, but using those lessons to tweak, improve, and actually win next time.
It’s real, it’s raw, and if you’ve ever felt discouraged by a flop, this episode is especially for you.
So, if you’re ready to see your business failures with fresh eyes .. and start using them as fuel for your next breakthrough ... press play and join me for this honest conversation. Don’t keep repeating the same mistakes. Listen, reflect, and let’s turn setbacks into comebacks, together!
