    When building a digital business success often comes to those who are not afraid to fail counterintuitive as this

    may seem becoming good at failure It can really be your secret weapon for achieving that lasting success that

    you're looking for Today we will discuss why cultivating a healthy relationship with failure is a good practice

    to start succeeding in your digital business and in life in general Before we get

    into that I wanna thank today's sponsor my newsletter the part time Digital Business I

    recommend you sign up for this It's a free resource and it acts as a

    weekly guide really helping you and not just building your digital business but understanding how to succeed

    in the creator economy Today every week I send out very curated articles on what

    I think is the most important things to learn Join thousands in the group You can find the

    link in the description Let's start with rapid learning and adaptation The digital realm is constantly evolving There's

    new technology there's new platforms and consumer behavior emerging at a very fast pace When we get used to

    failure as a learning tool you can position yourself to quickly adapt to these changes Each failure should provide you

    valuable data and insight that can really inform you and your next move This will allow you to

    pivot and refine your strategy much more effectively than your competitors who are possibly playing it more safe

    How can you expect to learn anything significant if you are always playing it safe Some of the biggest

    lessons that I have learned were from failing If you are creating content and people

    are not engaging with it that is a lesson to adjust your message If you are creating courses

    maybe you're creating digital products and no one is buying them You are getting a hands on lesson a hands

    on learning experience that something is not working Now let's move to innovation through experimentation

    to truly be innovative This rarely comes from playing it safe The most groundbreaking digital

    products or services often arise from numerous failed attempts and iterations by getting uncomfortable with being comfortable by getting

    more comfortable with failure You'll be more willing to take those calculated risks and experiment

    with different ideas The mindset behind this really fosters creativity and can lead to those bigger breakthroughs you are

    looking for in your work Remember that unless you have put in your 10,000 hours really mastering and refining your

    craft you're likely missing at least a few key pieces to your digital brand you're missing

    some of these key data points I can competently say that there were at least a

    dozen times I said to myself OK this is it I finally have the perfect formula

    only to realize I was missing a huge piece of the puzzle And I had to go back to

    the drawing board and I had to rebuild that properly based on watching another creator based

    on seeing what someone else was doing Realizing there's more to the process Let me go

    back and refine this process Let me go back and take these data points that

    I've just learned and plug them in so I can refine my own system Now before we discuss

    the importance of building res resilience and really how to do that Make sure to follow make sure to subscribe

    each follow and subscribe really helps push out the content and helps get the content

    out to more people Now the digital business landscape here it can be really unforgiving with intense competition There are

    rapid market shifts as well that occur So developing a resilience how do you do this

    through repeated exposure to failure This really prepares you to handle whatever is coming and there will always be new

    challenges coming each step back It becomes an opportunity to strengthen your resolve And more

    importantly refine your problem solving skills to make your business more robust in the long run I

    know you've heard this before but this is something I really wish I had paid

    more attention to Not when I was going and when things were moving successfully more in

    the beginning When I was just starting out I used to think that building resilience was just a baseline

    term It was just understood and I never truly grasped it the proper way The number one biggest

    reason people quit that I work with and I speak to after they start is they

    fail one time two times three times after so many failures they tend to throw

    in the towel I can't make this work How will this work for me If you are not

    in the right mindset when you fail it will probably possibly be enough to take you

    out Imagine how many seven figure businesses have never made it all the way because the person behind them

    did not know how to fail properly So faster time to market is another thing I want to discuss here

    Speed is often a competitive advantage When we think of speed you get there faster you're

    the fastest one by adopting a fail fast and fail often approach You can quickly test ideas

    and you can bring those products to market This process allows you to gather real

    world feedback and make improvements on the fly rather than doing what I used to do is spending excessive time

    perfecting a product that just sits in isolation and does not go anywhere or grow anywhere or generate

    feedback from users which is very important How long does it take you to go to market

    Ask yourself this question Do you ever get there Are you always in the planning stage Planning is the

    root of all evil when it comes to making money online I used to plan

    more than I actually worked I was using planning as a safety net instead of

    getting out there with my own products and sort of facing the music So stop planning

    as much and just put things out into the market Let your audience ping back and tell

    you what's working and what isn't working This is the fastest way to build and really refine

    your products Now let's talk about authentic customer connections transparency and authenticity These are highly

    valued by consumers all consumers by openly acknowledging failure sharing how you've learned from those failures

    You can build those stronger connections form those stronger bonds with your audience This honesty can

    enhance brand loyalty and it can really differentiate you from competitors who are presenting a more

    flawless facade We all know brands that promote that way and there's nothing wrong with that in

    particular the problem is there's nothing real being conveyed in those messages So myself as an example I

    can relate better to someone who tells me they made a mistake This is what

    they did This is how they learned from that mistake versus someone who is always presenting themselves

    as flawless never making mistakes Now this does not mean you should be spending your

    whole time creating your content on your mistake solely But admitting there were mistakes admitting there

    were bumps in the road which we all know deep down how you got there there had to

    have been mistakes It's a good idea I like to blend about 10% of mistakes

    into my content because I want you to know I believe learning from mistakes is a much better tool

    than just me conveying a message If I can give a mistake or a problem that I learned from I

    think it's an easier way to remember that and I think it will stick in your

    memory much better At least it does for me So in conclusion mastering the art of failure this is

    one of the most effective paths to success in your digital business and your personal brand and

    your content creation When you reframe failure as a valuable tool for learning this is

    where you can position yourself for growth position yourself for that innovation and that change that you are looking for

    So take the time embrace failing learn from failing and use it to take your

    business to take your brand to the level that you want it to go again Thank you for
