Turn Up Your Failure Rate

Want to know how to succeed faster?

Double your failure rate.

Sounds crazy, doesn't it?

After all, failure is embarrassing... failure is ugly... and failure makes us feel like crap.

But what if we twisted around the way we looked at failure and saw it as a success.

In fact, we are coming up to Xmas... and new years resolutions...and all that good stuff...

so it's nearly time to make some intentions, right.

Well, why wait.

Why not start now instead and come up with a failure plan.

Stop right now and say to yourself...

I will fail at least 100 times this year.

And then come up with a whole bundle of things you want to do in your business. For instance...

  • Set up a google adwords campaign

  • Adapt your google adwords campaign

  • Do a joint venture with another business

  • Run a facebook ads campaign

  • Call up a big client and try to establish a relationship

  • Send out a direct marketing letter

  • Begin email marketing

  • Send out flyers to your local area

  • Do a fax broadcasting campaign

  • But here's the key.

    Know that you will fail... and then CELEBRATE YOUR FAILURES.

    In fact, put together a little sheet on your wall which makes up 100 boxes. And then put each failure into the box as you do it.

    And then celebrate.

    Why am I recommending one should turn up their failure rate.

    Simply because it's the fastest way to achieve success.

    You see, the reality is perfection is paralysis.

    And when you set out with the onset of failing, it means you have more successes along the way.

    Think about it this way: the most successful direct marketing companies in the world fail 99% of the time.

    But they make a stack of money by converting less than 1% of the prospects they mail to into customers.

    The bottom line is the more you fail, the greater the success you'll achieve.

    So go fail at something ;-)
