When you want to sell ideas, products or services you’ve got to get the fundamentals right!

Sometimes our worst failures lead to our best successes - so what better way to fail than at a dress rehearsal? Better than at the main event right?!. Dress rehearsals do more than give you a chance to practice, they prep your brain and body for action - just another “hack” that the best presenters and sales people use - and now you can too!

Overcoming Failure

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 08:07:46 +0000

Because as an entrepreneur it’s inevitable, so why not get ahead of feeling bad about it.. If you’re not failing A LOT you’re likely not doing much with your life - sorry (not sorry) to be blunt - but if you’re suffering when you fail, it CAN put you off keeping going. Which, in turn will mean you miss out on the deal, the relationship and, someone else, very often less qualified and less experienced than you will grab it! As an experienced entrepreneur who’s now getting invited to speak, here are some valuable lessons to help you fast track your confidence on this new journey.

Let’s dig in to some horrific failures of mine from age 8 to 30+ and see if you can’t dig out a gem of truth to help you next time you’re doubting yourself.
