A few weeks ago, someone asked me if they should give up on a particular strategy.
My response was simple: What made you think it was time to give up?
Their answer?
They weren’t sure they could get it exactly right on the first try.
Here’s the reality. Rarely, if ever, does anyone get it perfect on the first attempt, and that’s not only okay—it’s expected. In fact, your first attempt at anything is likely just the beginning of your journey, not the conclusion.
This is where the concept of FAIL comes in: First Attempt In Learning. You don’t get to call it a failure if you’ve only tried once. And if the thought of a first-time success lingers, let’s be honest—that’s luck, not mastery.
Without evaluating what worked, what didn’t, and understanding the element of luck, you won’t build a repeatable strategy.
The unexamined business isn’t just risky—it’s chaotic. Avoid that self-inflicted chaos. Embrace each step as an essential data point, a lesson on the path to true understanding and consistent success.
