What do you do when you experience failure in your life or your business? One of our wonderful listeners asked how you get back up and keep going after failure, and Jesse and I had a lively and honest discussion around this in this week's episode of the podcast. Failure is a part of life, but it shouldn’t define who we are. For instance, for a long time, Jesse identified as a lawyer and that title made up his identity in many ways. If he failed or if he perceived a failure, that lack would directly impact his identity. For many others, they don't feel like they are good enough. When this is the case, it's so easy to see failure and setbacks as defining you as a failure personally. The truth is that true failure only occurs when you stop trying and give up. Until you stop trying, you haven't failed! So keep moving and learning and growing from your mistakes. Also, don't forget to stop and celebrate your wins. It's so easy to focus on what we're doing wrong instead of recognizing what we're doing right. In This Episode: [01:23] What’s saving our lives? Under Armour hoodies and my Sole F80 treadmill.
