Not all failures end well. Sometimes, people suffer a setback and never recover. It doesn’t have to be this way. It is all in how you process it. If you are going to succeed in work and in life, you must learn to deal powerfully with failure.
There are at least six steps to turning failure to your advantage:
- Step #1: Acknowledge the failure.
- Step #2: Take full responsibility.
- Step #3: Mourn the failure.
- Step #4: Learn from the experience.
- Step #5: Change your behavior.
- Step #6: Enter whole-heartedly into the next project.
Failure is inevitable if you are going to tackle significant goals. You have to learn to make it work for you. In doing so, you are planting the seeds of your eventual success.
Is this the model that Twitter uses for it's failures? Where has Twitter failed and how has this model turned things around for them? I'm actually going to apply this to my life... Thanks!
