So many people do not succeed because they are crippled by the fear of failure and the worry that comes with it. Some people want to find every avenue that can go wrong and are crippled by analysis paralysis. Others are afraid to embarrass themselves in front of their friends. While some (myself included) are so emotionally attached to the money they make from their hard work that they can’t bear the thought of losing it.
Before I go on, I have a couple of quotes from two famous sports stars which I think is very appropriate.
Wayne Gretzky, the famous Canadian Ice Hockey player once said: “You miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take in life.”
Michael Jordan once said: “I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve most almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been entrusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over, and over, and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”
These two famous sports people realised something that most people don’t. And that is, to be successful in business and life, you just have to stop worrying about everything and just go for it. [click to continue…]
