Where I Get My Energy Is: 'how

My Dad Encouraged Us To Fail. Growing Up, He Would Ask Us What We Failed At That Week. If We Didn't Have Something, He Would Be Disappointed. It Changed My Mindset At An Early Age That Failure Is Not The Outcome, Failure Is Not Trying. Don't Be Afraid To Fail.

When I Was A Child, My Father Used To Encourage My Brother And Me To Fail. At The Dinner Table, Instead Of Asking About The Best Part Of Our Day, He Would Ask Us What We Failed At That Week. If We Didn't Have Something To Tell Him, He Would Be Disappointed. When We Shared Whatever Failure We'd Endured, He'd High-five Us And Say, 'way To Go!' The Gift My Father Gave Us By Doing This Was Redefining What Failure Truly Meant.

Whatever You Can Think, You Can Create; Just Have A Very Clear Vision... Once You Have Your Snapshot, Work On Filling In The Blanks To Get To That Place.

Don't Be Intimidated By What You Don't Know.

Don't Solicit Feedback On Your Product, Idea Or Your Business Just For Validation Purposes. You Want To Tell The People Who Can Help Move Your Idea Forward, But If You're Just Looking To Your Friend, Co-worker, Husband Or Wife For Validation, Be Careful. It Can Stop A Lot Of Multimillion-dollar Ideas In Their Tracks In The Beginning.
