"There is no failure, only
feedback,"
preaches NLP.
Great achievers
fail small to succeed big on
their way of making their dreams
come true.
They profit from every
experience and turn it to their
advantage.
Do you do the same?

 |
| |
|
Fail forward – learn from
failures and improve instead of
viewing failures as setbacks.

It's very rewarding to find opportunities
in failures – especially in your
competitors'
failures. |

How To Turn Failures To
Opportunities
3
Steps
|
|
|
 |
|
① Get rid of all negative emotions,
treat failure as a highly useful feedback – and learn.
② Go into a fresh-start mindset – more
intelligently: Given the situation you are in now as a starting
point, consider various options: what
opportunities for and a roadmap to ultimate success can you see
or imagine? |
|
|
|
|
To profit from each and every
experience you must be open and
willing to learn, even from what
some people might consider a
failure.
Don't have have a narrow and
negative understanding of the
meaning of failure. If you tend
to hide from failures, you will
never create innovative
breakthroughs and block valuable
learning forward.
What may seem to be a failure
can actually lead to new
opportunities, especially if the
knowledge acquired from the
failed
experiments or projects can
be exploited.
Right learning questions can
serve as a starting point for
the assimilation of learning.
Changing your attitude to the
entrepreneurial one is the
key to finding success in
seeming failure. "Optimistic
thinking has sometimes gotten a
bad rap as being unrealistic,
but research has found that we
can indeed live happier,
healthier, and more successful
lives if we can learn to
discover opportunities in
problems," says Charles C. Manz.
the author of The Power of
Failure. These problems then
become merely challenging
opportunities that we can turn
to our advantage.
"Failure is simply the
opportunity to begin again, this
time more intelligently,"
advised
Henry Ford.

Failure is a friend if you can
see a highly promising
opportunity in it.
Example: Microsoft
According to
Bill Gates, "Many costly
Microsoft product failures
provided the learning and
opportunity for development of
many of Microsoft's biggest
successes."
Example: Ursula von
den Leyen
Having failed as a gynecologist,
Ursula von den Leyen became a
politician and excelled in that
field. She quickly became
Germany's Minister of Defense
and then President of the
European Commission.

Failures are Opportunities
Failures are lessons of wisdom.
Admit to ‒ and learn from ‒ your
mistakes. View noble failures
positively because with the
knowledge you gain from them,
you are able to do better in the
future.
When you fail,
find the root reason, and
then look forward. You cannot
change the past, but the future
is yet in your power.

|
|
| |
|
Focus on your long-tern vision.
Focus is a compass that helps
you navigate towards your next
goal through short-term
setbacks.
