Margie Warrell

And I just felt really passionate around what I was doing. And I was like, I don't know what I'm doing with writing a book. I've got four little kids. And I just thought. I don't want to look back one day and go, what if I'd tried? And did I write a literary masterpiece? No. Did I feel really nervous as it was coming out? Yes. Was it easy? No,

I don't want to look back one day and go, what if I'd tried? And did I write a literary masterpiece? No. Did I feel really nervous as it was coming out? Yes. Was it easy? No,

Did I write a bestseller that made me millions of dollars? Absolutely not remotely, yes. But I'm always pleased that I wrote that book because that book opened up the door to new opportunities and to doing media interviews and then to speaking more widely. And it was just a first step and it was a fumbly first step.

It was an awkward first step, but it opened up the door to a whole lot of other possibilities. And likewise, you know, whenever I meet someone who's really thriving in their life, they're constantly trying things and not everything lands, you know. Yeah, sometimes it doesn't. But when we don't, we don't interpret failure as, you know, who we are. Failure is an event, not a person.

And when we can befriend failure. as a prerequisite for us to learn what we need to learn to keep moving forward smarter, then it actually frees us to risk more of it. And no, I'm not talking massive failures, but just like, oh, I'm going to go along to this thing and meet these people or I'm going to write an article and it mightn't be the best article or, you know, whatever it is for you.

But, you know, that thing of embracing, that concept of embracing imperfection and good enough and just putting yourself out there and giving yourself permission not to nail it all the time actually just empowers you to do so many more things than you ever would if you're waiting to line all your ducks in a row.

Yeah, I know those people too. Aren't they annoying?

Look, I wished I was one of those people who didn't care. I do care. I wished I didn't feel so self-conscious. I wish there was a little voice in my head as I'm talking to you, Mike, going, oh, Margie, you're saying the right things. Are you hitting it? You know, there is. It's there. What I know is it's like, how much power do we give that? For those people who just don't don't care.
