I’ve got a question for you: What if failing wasn’t a setback, but a step forward?

I had the pleasure of joining CEO, Mark Williams on his podcast, Mileage May Vary, where we explored the idea of “failing forward”—how embracing mistakes can lead to massive growth. We also dove into what managers can do to help their teams thrive, especially when resources are tight. Although we talked specifically about these ideas in the workplace, the same principles apply outside the office, even when we’re just looking to motivate ourselves.

Here are some key takeaways:

• Failing Forward: Mistakes aren’t something to fear—they’re essential for progress. Like scientists experimenting their way to breakthroughs, each “failure” is a step toward success when you shift your perspective.
  
• Creating Psychological Safety: Taking risks and trying new things requires a sense of safety. For bold actions to happen, people need to know they won’t be punished for experimenting. If you’re a manager, building this kind of trust within your team is critical.
  
• Celebrating Small Wins: Big dreams start with small steps. Success isn’t just about the grand moments—it’s about tracking and celebrating the little victories that build momentum and fuel motivation.
