Though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes. — Proverbs 24:16 I've come to appreciate the value of learning from mistakes and of reframing failures as opportunities for growth. The insights shared by mentors, friends, and even strangers have profoundly shaped my understanding of resilience and perseverance. When I was younger, I viewed failure as a reflection of my inadequacy. But a mentor once told me, “Failure is not the opposite of success; it's part of it.” That helped me to see mistakes not as dead ends but as stepping stones toward improvement and wisdom. A memorable example was a project I led that did not go as planned. I felt defeated, but a wise colleague encouraged me to analyze what went wrong and what could be done differently the next time. That helped me to see the experience as a learning opportunity. I also recall a pastor sharing a story of his own failure in ministry. His transparency and humility taught me that even the people we look up to experience setbacks. This encouraged me to view failure as a shared human experience. Learning from our mistakes means acknowledging them, seeking feedback, and making necessary adjustments. It involves humility and a willingness to change. By reframing failure, we can grow in resilience, deepen our trust in God's guidance, and continue moving forward with hope. Father, teach us to learn from our mistakes and to see failures as opportunities for growth. Help us to be resilient and trust in you for guidance. In Jesus' name, Amen.
In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Steve Fitz, veteran sales leader and CRO of Modern Health, about the power of persistence in sales. We explore why embracing the grind is essential for long-term success, how rejection fuels growth, and why resilience separates top performers from the rest. This episode is packed with insights on mindset, career longevity, and why playing the long game always wins.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:26] Sales is a grind, and embracing it is key to long-term success.[00:01:04] The best sales reps don't fear rejection—they master the art of the “no” and find a way back.[00:01:47] Career success comes from commitment; jumping around too often limits long-term impact.[00:02:55] A grinder's mindset means working harder, more often, and at times others won't.[00:04:21] Employers value perseverance over job-hopping—grit signals trust and loyalty.[00:06:04] Running away from challenges stunts growth; learning is in the struggle.[00:07:02] Mindset shift: Change “I have to” into “I get to” for lasting motivation.QUOTES[00:01:04] “You gotta love rejection as a sales rep. You gotta love the art of ‘no' and then find a way back.”[00:02:55] “To be successful today, you have to do it better, more often, and at times others are unwilling to.”[00:06:04] “Grinding is learning. The struggle becomes your foundation—if you play it right.” [00:07:02] “The mindset shift is everything. It's not ‘I have to'—it's ‘I get to.'” – Steve FitzListen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/lessons-from-the-grind-tackling-complex-enterprise-salesEnjoying the podcast?

Welcome to today's episode, where we're diving into something we all experience but often try to hide: our mistakes. Those moments when we stumble, fall short, or completely miss the mark.But what if I told you that these mistakes might be your life's most powerful wisdom-bringers? Those uncomfortable, sometimes painful missteps could actually be disguised gifts. As Tryon Edwards so perfectly put it: "Some of the best lessons we ever learn we learn from our mistakes and failures. The error of the past is the wisdom of the future."Think about it. When everything goes according to plan, what do we really learn? It's in the gaps, the unexpected detours, where actual growth happens. That project that failed spectacularly? It probably taught you more than a dozen successful ones. We're culturally programmed to avoid mistakes at all costs. We're taught that success means getting it right the first time. But this mindset robs us of the rich learning from getting it wrong. Some of humanity's greatest innovations came from mistakes—penicillin, microwave ovens, and even chocolate chip cookies! The creators didn't just make errors; they paid attention to them. And here's something we don't talk about enough: mistakes connect us. They remind us of our shared humanity. When we're vulnerable enough to admit when we've messed up, we create space for authentic connection with others. For many of us, our most transformative life chapters began with what looked like failure. The relationship that ended painfully led to deeper self-knowledge. The career setback forced us to reevaluate our true calling. So in today's episode, we'll hear from people who've turned their biggest mistakes into unexpected gifts. We'll explore practical ways to extract wisdom from failure rather than just trying to move past it quickly. And we'll talk about how embracing imperfection might actually be the key to living with more courage and authenticity. Whether you're recovering from a recent mistake or trying to build a healthier relationship with failure, this conversation is for you.
Don't shy away from your poker mistakes! They're a great path to growing your skills and success. Here are 4 things I love about my mistakes and why I use my own mistakes in my coaching.How to Steal More Pots Course https://www.thepokerforge.com/howtostealmorepotscourseShow Notes https://www.smartpokerstudy.com/pod530
In today's episode, Dr. Killeen shares a hard truth—mistakes aren't the best teacher, they're just the most expensive. While learning from your own errors has value, why not learn from others and save yourself time, money, and frustration? Successful people know the power of vicarious learning through mentors, books, and systems that shortcut their path to success. Dr. Killeen uses the analogy of climbing Mt. Everest with or without a guide to explain how mentorship can help you cut corners and speed up your journey without sacrificing the lessons.
My guest for Episode #297 of the My Favorite Mistake podcast is Norman Wolfe, the Founder and CEO of Quantum Leaders. EPISODE PAGE with video, transcript, and more Norman's journey as both a successful executive and a trusted coach to countless leaders has been driven by one central question: How can we improve our ability to achieve the results we want? His pursuit of this answer led him to master a wide range of business disciplines—from leadership and strategy to operations and finance—while also deeply exploring human potential, personal growth, and even spirituality. Norman's mission now is to help others transform their thinking and approach to more effectively achieve their deepest desires. In this episode, I chat with Norman about how mistakes can spark profound growth and innovation in leadership. Norman shares his favorite mistake story—from his early days as a first-time manager, where a harsh performance review challenged him, to the lessons that fueled his journey toward becoming a top leader at Hewlett-Packard. He explains Wolfe's Law, his formula that highlights the exponential impact of relationships and context on achieving outcomes. We also dive into the principles of quantum leadership, discussing how a holistic, people-centered approach—blending practical leadership with a touch of spirituality and systems thinking—can transform organizations into dynamic learning ecosystems. Questions and Topics: What is your favorite mistake? Did the negative review or your mentors provide specific, actionable feedback for improvement? Is the formula you mentioned what you call “Wolfe's Law”? Could you state Wolfe's Law for us? Does your formula imply that relationships are exponentially more important than activity and context? How does spirituality fit into your framework—does it fall under context or serve another role? How do you assess whether individuals (or teams) are mature enough for increased responsibility? What should be eliminated versus managed when dealing with ambiguity and risk? From your experience, why is it essential to reframe mistakes as positive learning opportunities? Do you believe that making mistakes fosters adaptation and growth?
We rarely want to spend time and mental energy revisiting the past — particularly if it involves reflecting on uncomfortable missteps. We often want to move quickly, telling ourselves that speed equals efficiency. True efficiency, however, sometimes requires slowing down, being mindful and especially looking back at the decisions we've made that didn't go as we'd hoped.Join Cheryl Einhorn, an adjunct professor at Cornell Tech, for a discussion of using your past decisions as a dataset you can mine for insights to make better future decisions.What You'll LearnHow to use past decisions as a dataset that you can mine for insightsHow to turn insight into actionStrategies to shift your behavior going forwardThe Cornell Keynotes podcast is brought to you by eCornell, which offers more than 200 online certificate programs to help professionals advance their careers and organizations.

On today's episode, we have the second part of Dr. Ben Kacos's presentation at the Dental Success Summit 2024, titled "Loving, Leading & Learning From Mistakes," Dr. Kacos continues to explore the essential qualities and strategies for effective leadership within the dental profession. He introduces the concept of the "Law of the Lid," emphasizing that a leader can only attract and retain team members whose leadership capabilities are at or below their own level, thereby setting the maximum potential of the organization based on the leader's capabilities. Dr. Kacos draws on the Stoic philosophy, particularly the teachings of Marcus Aurelius, to underscore the importance of self-mastery and preparation in leadership. He discusses the psychological and physiological benefits of challenging oneself, such as enhancing the mid-singulate cortex, which he links to increased willpower and longevity. This forms the foundation for his advocacy of a rigorous morning routine that combines physical exercise, mental preparation, and strategic planning to optimize daily leadership performance. Throughout his presentation, Dr. Kacos seamlessly integrates neuroscience with practical leadership advice, encouraging attendees to embrace discomfort as a pathway to growth. He emphasizes the importance of personal accountability in leadership, suggesting that leaders should always look first to their actions and decisions when outcomes fall short of expectations. Moreover, Dr. Kacos advocates for creating a culture of appreciation, coaching, and accountability within one's practice. He stresses that effective leadership involves not only setting a positive example but also actively developing the potential of team members through continuous engagement and support. As he concludes, Dr. Kacos illustrates the transformative power of leadership with personal anecdotes and broader organizational contexts, highlighting the profound impact that a capable leader can have on their team's morale and performance. His call to action is for all leaders to strive for autonomy within their teams, allowing for a self-sustaining system that thrives even in their absence. This insightful session not only equips dental professionals with the tools to enhance their leadership skills but also inspires them to implement these practices to foster a more productive and harmonious work environment.

Embrace your mistakes! Celebrate them and learn from them.This is important. I really want you to celebrate your mistakes because you're one of the few that took action that got out of your head that made a decision and moved forward.You took that step.And, when you take that step, you have a new point of view, you have a new lens from where you were before, you'll never go back to where you were before. Because now, even if it was a mistake, even if it was something that didn't work quite perfectly and that's the great thing when it comes to marketing your business when it comes to putting yourself out there into the world like that, that perspective will allow you to pivot adjust change. Because marketing is testing, and the only way that you're going to test is you have to be vulnerable enough to put out imperfection, putting out things that are not perfect.After all, it's the market feedback that we don't have until we put our thing out into the world.So go ahead and make mistakes. That is how we learn.

In this episode we are exploring a topic that every entrepreneur faces—setbacks and self-doubt, especially when scaling your business. While growth is exciting, it can also bring unexpected challenges that make you question if you're ready for the next step. I've absolutely been there, and I know those feelings well. In this episode, we'll explore why setbacks are a natural part of the growth process and how they can actually be a catalyst for positive change. We'll also discuss practical strategies to manage self-doubt and keep moving forward when things get tough. What We Cover in This Episode: Why Setbacks Are a Natural Part of Growth: Setbacks don't just mean something's gone wrong—they're an inevitable part of pushing your business beyond its comfort zone. We'll talk about why they shouldn't be viewed as failures but as markers of growth. Reframing Your Mindset Around Setbacks: We'll discuss how changing your perspective can transform setbacks into opportunities for learning and improvement. Instead of viewing them as roadblocks, think of them as stepping stones toward your next breakthrough. Practical Strategies to Manage Doubt During Growth: Scaling often brings feelings of uncertainty and comparison. I'll share tips on how to break your goals into smaller wins, seek the right support, and reflect on your progress to keep doubt from holding you back. How to Avoid Decisions That Take You in Circles: Learn how slowing down to reassess can help you avoid choices that cancel out your hard work. We'll explore why thoughtful, methodical decision-making is crucial for long-term success. Key Takeaways: Setbacks are part of the growth journey, signalling that you're expanding your limits. Changing your mindset can turn setbacks into valuable learning experiences. Managing doubt involves focusing on small wins, seeking support, and reflecting on progress. Slowing down to reassess helps ensure decisions align with your long-term vision. Setbacks and doubt don't need to be setbacks forever. They can be exactly what you need to pause, reassess, and come back stronger. I hope this episode encourages you to see them as a natural and necessary part of your growth journey.
