Summary
We grew up in a complicated world where we were told failure was not an option. Whatever we learned in school, we would just memorize it and then regurgitate it back out on paper. If we failed to do that? We were hit with that terrorizing letter "F".
In today's episode I want to reverse the negative mindset we have around taking risks and possibly failing. What we need to do is look at risk as a chance for teachable moments -- it's just as important to know what doesn't work as well as what does. Knowledge of both will help you to move forward in achieving your goals.
(3:18) "There is a reason why we have this aversion to risk. It's because we grew up in a certain in a society where we take a test and we are expected to regurgitate back a specific set of information and if we don't do that in the exact form or in the right composition….that we fail."
(6:24) "You've be taught for many many many years of your life how bad it was to do so [fail]. It's natural for all us to not want to fail and that feeling of not wanting to fail is our protection is our coping mechanism. It's natural and you have been programmed that way"
(9:08) "For me, I have learned over and over again that it is only through exposing yourself to risk that you can truly make those big leaps forward. It's only in trying something big and really going for it that you are going to accomplish greatness."

| 0:34.1 | me today. In today's episode we're diving deep into reversing negative |
| 0:39.7 | programming around risk and I really wanted to take the time to dedicate a full episode to this topic because I see that societal norms are upbringing, our education, and so many other factors in our |
| 0:55.0 | up upbringing, our education, and so many other factors in our lives |
| 0:56.2 | inhibit our growth as entrepreneurs and business leaders. |
| 1:00.5 | And I see this trend show up most often when it comes to hiring, training, coaching, and |
| 1:07.2 | developing employees. |
| 1:09.5 | I see that there is massive aversion amongst the entrepreneurial community to building a team, |
| 1:17.0 | to investing in people, to taking the time to learn how to become an effective leader. And many times it's because of the |
| 1:26.3 | risk financially and also the negative experience that maybe they had or you had or we had the first time that we went to |
| 1:35.8 | hire or in those initial experiences that we had in bringing employees on. Now |
| 1:41.0 | this is just one little drop in the bucket. This is one example of a key area |
| 1:48.0 | that I see most entrepreneurs struggling and being held back by. |
| 1:54.1 | But this could be applied across the board |
| 1:56.4 | to almost every area of your business and of your life. |
