Episode 1553
I believe we can learn as much from failure as we can from success, if not more. It’s with this principle in mind that we’re starting Failure Friday, a collection of short stories all about mistakes, missteps, disasters, and of course, failure. Just like our Throwback Thursday segment, you’ll hear directly from side hustlers who have struggled to get something off the ground. They’ll tell you a short story of something that went very wrong. The stories will vary, but often it starts with an idea, what they thought would happen and what really happened—and of course, what they learned. I applaud their courage! I’ll share some of my failure stories along the way as well. Today’s short story features John Lee Dumas from his headquarters in sunny Puerto Rico. I’ve mentioned John several times on the show over the years. He’s one of the very few people who had a daily podcast long ago. Last week I told you about his new book, The Common Path to Uncommon Success. He’s one of the hardest working people I know … and he’s also very honest. Because he doesn’t mind saying when he gets it wrong. Listen to today's episode to learn more...MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:
