How to Reframe Failure Into Stories of Success

One of the most fearful words that has ever existed is "failure". It hinders even the most ardent dreamer from pursuing their dreams. This fact made me thoughtful of an important question: if we remain fearful, will our dreams ever come true?  Before recording this week's show, I was reminded of an old dream of mine to become a Spring DJ for KUGR radio in the 1980s. It was the craze back then before the internet came into existence. When I was asked to audition, I chose not to. To me, not trying at all was a better approach than trying and failing. This fear made my dream of becoming a Spring DJ unrealized. It was only later on when I realized the lesson out of that experience. And we do things like this every single day. Conflict and failure are in the heart of every story we tell. So if you're avoiding it, you're choosing not to take the journey that can change your life for the better forever. My guest on this week's show, Andrea Waltz, co-author of Go For No! Yes is the Destination, No is How You Get There, shares how to reframe your story about failure so you can gain more confidence in pursuing your dreams. Andrea is an expert at fun, fabulous failures.

Once that fear is gone, only then you can unleash your most extraordinary story. My goal with this episode is to help listeners understand the important role of failure in the attainment of success.
