Failing Forward Mindset

I love the concept of failing forward. It takes the old “if at first you don’t succeed” proverb and builds upon it. Try something. Fail. Then take what you learned and apply it.

It works for practically everything.

Perhaps more importantly, it helps people get a leg up. It shows how to apply knowledge. It doesn’t matter if it’s business, a hobby, or something else. There’s nothing wrong with expecting to fail the first time. The important part is the optimism vs pessimism.

I wish schools would teach things like this.  It’s entrepreneurship 101, but I don’t think it’s public school education anything.
