Failure is Your Friend | MWM

Failure Is Our Friend = In John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, he discusses having the right perspective of failure. Failure is an asset when we look at it correctly. If we allow it to, failure can make our lives fuller, richer, and more effective.

The Difference Between Average and Achieving | MWM

https://youtu.be/ZGzl9-okFT8

Failure Can Be A Blessing In Disguise = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, helps people successfully fail. The difference between high achievers and average people is not their brilliance or luck, but how they look at failure. Successful people experience more failure than unsuccessful people. It isn’t the amount of failures you have had that can defeat you, it is the attitude, or mindset, you have towards failure. Successful people look at failure as a learning tool and stepping block that helps them grow. Don’t look at failure as a liability. Your mindset makes the difference. Make the most out of your failures.

A Life-Changing New Perspective | MWM

https://youtu.be/1xT46z7IqHg

Reframe Failure = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, talks about learning a new definition of failure. Failure can become one of the greatest assets in your life. Embrace it! Few people learn from success, but failure is a great learning tool.

Pro Tip: Remove the "YOU" From FAILURE | MWM

https://youtu.be/ei6Uz58S--M

Rise Above Your Mistake = In John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, John tells us we need to remove the ‘you’ from failure. This doesn’t mean we should avoid taking responsibility for our failure. It means we should not take ourselves too seriously. The quicker we get over ourselves, the faster we will have success. We can’t communicate effectively if we are only focused on ourselves. We need to focus on others.

Try This to Stop Procrastinating | MWM

https://youtu.be/eYxD10PI6u0

Action Brings Success = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, discusses the importance of taking action and reducing fear. Fear can lead to procrastination, but action is the cure to fear (and failure). Procrastination can increase the fear of failure. There is no success without action.

Change Your Response to Failure | MWM

https://youtu.be/nxxZVejFJYk

Be Authentic, Not Perfect = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says “Change your response to failure by accepting responsibility.” There is a freedom in empowerment, but you must take responsibility as well, and be accountable. You can’t learn, change, and grow if you aren’t accountable. When you are authentic and admit your mistakes, it won’t hurt your image, but it will allow people to trust you.

When Failure on the Outside Gets on the Inside | MWM

https://youtu.be/Bv6x6erWNBc

Don’t Internalize Failure = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that people shouldn’t let failure from the outside get inside of them. When people experience failure, it is important that they don’t take it personally and internalize it. When failure is internalized, it prolongs the process. You end up dealing with your own attitude and emotions, making it about yourself instead of dealing with the true issues.

Yesterday Ended Last Night | MWM

https://youtu.be/5pz2A_QewG0

Yesterday Ended Last Night = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says “Say goodbye to yesterday.” Everyone has bad days, but it is important to put both yesterday's successes and yesterday’s failures behind us. If we focus too much on yesterday, it won't help us take care of today. We delay today when we focus too much on yesterday, especially when we bring the emotional, thoughts, attitudes, and ideas with us into the next day.

How We View Things is How We Do Things | MWM

https://youtu.be/rp6o2YmUurY

Your Perspective Matters = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that your world changes when you change yourself. Your perspective determines the world that you live in. You can either see failure as a plus in your life—a learning tool—or you can see failure as a negative. View failure with an abundance mindset, not a scarcity mindset.

Be Grateful — Even For Your Bad Days | MWM

https://youtu.be/MvTTW-2mR1Y

Have Gratitude In The Midst Of Failure = In John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, he talks about the importance of “making a commitment to get over yourself, and start giving.” The fruit of gratitude is generosity. When we become givers, we overcome failure. People with gratitude do not see failure as final or fatal. When we learn to be grateful for our failure, we can be generous with others.

Every Bad Experience Has Something to Teach You | MWM

https://youtu.be/CSo2WnCj5FY

A Lesson Learned Improves A Bad Experience = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that you should find the good in a bad experience. Change the way you think. Every bad experience has something to teach you. When you learn from a bad experience, it becomes a good experience. If you are fearful of your failure, you are less likely to learn from it. Face your failure!

Why We Overcome Failure and Hardship | MWM

https://youtu.be/FezDy1-XC4g

Have Tenacity When Things Go Wrong = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that it is not easy to overcome failure or natural to take a risk, but it is important to tackle the hard things—and solve hard problems—so you can improve and learn to solve even harder problems. Take a bad experience, learn from it, and you will develop resilience, maturity, and the ability to see the big picture. Choose to take a bad experience and turn it into a good one.

The Choice You Make, Makes You | MWM

https://youtu.be/hZzvQVgBJNI

Choose To Work On You Weakness = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that we all need to work on our weaknesses. Choices can be changed and improved to aid us in this endeavor. Make the right choices no matter what failure you are experiencing. Your failure is not who you are. Everyone can make the choice to change and grow.

How to Fail Your Way to Success | MWM

https://youtu.be/9p6EC3XU_to

Fail Your Way To Success = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that there is very little difference between success and failure. When we perceive a large gap between success and failure, we become discouraged … But we need to close the gap and be encouraged! When we fail, we are close to success. Don’t quit! You can fail your way to success, but you can’t quit your way to success.

Get Up, Get Over, Get Going | MWM

https://youtu.be/WWV25wK8_-M

Get Up, Get Out, Get Going = John C. Maxwell's book, Failing Forward, says that we should get up, get over, and get going. Don’t stop taking action when you experience failure. Action brings success. You can’t sit and pull yourself out of failure. Get up!

How You Can Win, Even When You Lose | MWM

https://youtu.be/UIG3xtChrs4

Aim To Connect = Failure can be our friend. We learn from our failures, and we can use what we learn to help people. Instead of trying to impress our audience—which creates a gap—we should work to connect with our audience. When you talk about your mistakes and difficulties, and share how you overcome your challenges, it allows you to help and connect with your audience. We all have problems and we all make mistakes. Sharing these challenges will help you connect to your audience and the people lead. They will respect you for your wins, but they will love you for your failures.

Like all of us, he has experienced many losses, misses, and setbacks in his life. Many of us have a tendency to be mad at our failures, but John discusses in his book that we should make failure a friend and not a foe. Most of our growth and improvement doesn’t come from our successes but from or failures.
