But in order to continue to learn, grow, and achieve the success we truly deserve, facing your fears and learning from your mistakes is critical for continuing to grow. Keep Reading If you're not experimenting, making mistakes, and experiencing failure, then you're not thinking big enough to break through the glass ceiling to achieve your next level of success. On today's episode, I share how making mistakes and experiencing failure encourages a growth mindset. I share why many fierce feminine leaders are afraid of experimenting, making mistakes, and experiencing failure and how this fear prevents them from achieving their success goals. I also explain why it's critical to measure your success as a fierce business owner based on the validated learnings you have acquired and how it helps you make better decisions to move your business forward. "When you acquire validated learnings - that is really the key to the kingdom." - Eleanor Beaton Today on the Fierce Feminine Leadership Podcast: How avoiding mistakes and failures impacts your ability to learn and grow. Why mistakes and failures are critical for thinking bigger. The importance of taking risks and experimenting. The impact that internalized perfection can have on your growth as a female entrepreneur. What is validated learning? How measuring validated learning metrics impacts your ability to make smarter business decisions. The relationship between acquiring validated learnings and thinking in math, not in drama. Fierce Leadership Quotes: "If you are growing, and you are not making mistakes and experiencing the sharp pain of failure from time to time - you are in trouble." - Eleanor Beaton "Learning is painful. It really can hurt sometimes - experimenting can hurt sometimes. Failure hurts - but it is so critical." - Eleanor Beaton "The amount of validated learning you acquire needs to be one of your core metrics of success moving forward if you want to create long-term, sustainable success." - Eleanor Beaton Fierce Resources: The Lean Startup by Eric Ries Join the Exclusive Incubator Program!
