Hello friends! This week, the inspiration for my vlog is Kelly Gwynn at DirectTrust. She is one of the people that responded to my request for ideas for a future Brain Food, Tech Tip or Marketing related story. Kelly said, “Why don’t you do something about dealing with failure? My two new sayings at my house and in my office are Perfect is boring and Today I will do what I can & let that be enough.”
If you watch the video, you will hear me share about how I have dealt with failures in my career, and how I work to avoid repeating the same mistakes. If you want a gold star for watching this week, comment below the person I quote who said, “You will succeed. You will fail. Both are important.”
Remember, when you fail, be sure to give yourself some grace. Don’t lose sight of all the home runs you’ve hit leading up to that point.
I hope you are having a good week! (And yes, I am always looking for ideas for future topics, so if you think of something, please send it my way.)
Me? A blogger?
Honestly, I was skeptical. My first few posts were dry, hard to write and not very interesting, even to me. Then I had a breakthrough. I wrote about my passion for Bruce Springsteen. Very personal, very “non-banky.” The response was overwhelmingly positive.
