3 Tips to Turn Failure into Success

Failure isn't failure if we learn from it.  Just between you and me, I've had many failures in my life. If you're a woman in business you've had your share also!

Here are 3 Tips to Turn Failure into Success:

1) An optimistic attitude is essential:  Scott Adams, of Dilbert comic strip fame and author of How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big lists his failures in the book and there were over 20. But he had unfailing optimism and he finally succeeded BIG.  

2) Keep your foot on the gas pedal:  Sheryl Sandberg, COO of Facebook and author of Lean IN says women need to keep their foot on the gas pedal.  I agree. Sometimes we take the foot off the gas pedal because we've been working really hard, had some successes and think it's time to rest. Sometimes women in business take their foot off the gas pedal to have a family. I think she has a point that if you're wanting to compete with the big boys you have to stay in the game. Women are still bumping up against the glass ceiling although we're making progress. 

3) Learn from your Failures & Mistakes:  Robert Kiyosaki, author of the Rich Dad Poor Dad series, makes a valid point about the education system. He says it doesn't allow for falures and to make mistakes. As a young business man his first business failed, he lost millions, yet what he learned from that failure helped him succeed with his next business.  

As I look back at 2013 I see my failures - not staying focused on one thing at a time - and my successes - closer to my financial goal, more systems in place anda  much improved bottom line.  

Turn failures into successes by first listing your TA-DA's:  Make a list of your successess for 2013 and of any failures. Write down what you learned from each mistake and what you can do differently in 2014.
