Summary

When you take a swing at something and ultimately strike out, of course, it doesn't feel good. But at least you stepped up to the plate and gave it a try. Today, I want to talk about the micro versus macro failures we experience both personally and financially. Most of the time, these micro failures are a positive opportunity for growth, but people often do everything they can to avoid them out of fear. I encourage you to make bold decisions regardless of doubt and accept the possibility of failure. You never know when one of these investments will pay off big! Listen in to hear how taking risks and making bold decisions open you up to success.

 

IN THIS EPISODE, WE TALK ABOUT:

- The difference between micro failures and macro failures

- Personal and business examples of macro failures 

- Why it's so important to take the opportunity even if it ends in disappointment 

- Overcoming the fear of opening yourself up for success

- How to make bold decisions from a place of empowerment

Yeah, it sucks. Yeah, you feel bad. Yeah, you might be a little embarrassed, but really you're going to recover from that.

And therefore it's a micro failure to try and miss, right? Step up the bat and strike out.

Hey everybody welcome back to the Chris Harder show where we absolutely believe that both prosperity and generosity can and must coexist.

1:30.5

So today I wanted to quickly talk about this concept of micro failures versus macro failures.

1:38.0

And I wanted to talk about it because you know I consume podcasts just like you do and I was listening to the Gary B show a few weeks ago.

1:44.5

And he said something that I've been thinking about ever since for these past few weeks. He had mentioned that he would rather make a whole bunch of micro failures trying to do something and it not working out.

1:57.0

Then making the macro failure of not trying it at all and missing out on something that would be absolutely game changing that he was one of the first investors in Uber and he was one of the first investors in Facebook and some of these iconic juggernaut companies.

2:14.0

And the micro failure would have been investing in those companies and they end up going nowhere right then you lose a little bit of money whatever you invested but it's not catastrophic stop life ending but the macro failure would have been the opposite the macro failure would have been not investing in one of those companies when he had the chance.

2:35.0

And then missing out on the tens of millions of dollars that he got when each one went public so you can see this difference between this concept of micro failures good macro failures catastrophic and the reason why this topic is so important is most people are avoiding the micro failures but unfortunately it's causing them macro failures.

That they may or may not even know when you take a swing at something let's say it's starting your business and it doesn't work out yeah it sucks yeah you feel bad yeah you might be a little embarrassed but really you're going to recover from that and therefore it's a micro failure to try and miss right step up to bat and strike out but the macro failure is you not stepping up to the plate to start that business that you want to start.

3:34.0

And then all of a sudden the world is missing what could have been the next Uber what could have been the next Airbnb or just missing somebody who could have been one of the next great coaches the next 20 Robbins the next Mel Robbins that's what I mean by the difference between I would rather stack micro failures because at least I took a chance then not take a chance and up with these macro failures.

4:04.0

Of not getting the giant pay days or not becoming who I could have become so there's a difference between micro failures and macro failures when it comes to anything that you do in life here's a good example let's go some personal let's say you try and lose weight and you do real well for a couple of weeks and then you kind of fall off the way again and you put the way back on that might feel bad but that's just a micro failure.
