Hi Kim and all the excellent commentators. Great reminder for me as we go into a very challenging (for me) 2010. My confidence has been shaken badly by the challenges of 2009, and I was starting to dumb down my plans for this year. So thanks everybody for the jolt of encouragement! And best wishes to you all too!

Your poor leg! Eesh – hey you did it and the thing is…. people probably didn’t even notice!

(and it certainly made for a good story you can tell forever!)

Great post and also something more for you to think about.

Part of learning from failure is also knowing when to redirect.

Ask them directly what they want, when they want it and if you’re the best fit for each other. Learning from failure
is also knowing when you need to try a new route.

Good luck lady!

Hi Rakiya,

Thanks for sharing and congrats for sticking with your dream! (May that tutor have itchy underwear for the rest of their life!)

Hi Ellie –

Great suggestion! I still like mine too as sometimes we’re dealt something BIG that feels like a FAILURE
and not success….and I believe to just suck it up and move forward!

Thanks for your comment!

I have flopped many times and my biggest one was when I failed my MSc Maths dissertation. To then flop again by my tutor telling me settle for a post grad diploma. Oh no, after a few tears I got back on my feet did some more sums, got some more ticks and passed 7YEARS LATER! A very long flop indeed!

Hello KIM — My Super Sales Diva… I truly enjoy reading all of your Newsletters. Your advice/suggestions/stories are simply amazing and lots of fun!

I would like to suggest that you ‘re-write’ one of your Mantras… Instead of “Failure isn’t an option” — why don’t you say… “SUCCESS is ‘My’ option!” That way, you are focussing on the ‘Positive’!

Enjoy!
