A 6 Year Old Boy Knows It's OK To Fail

Most people are scared of failing. And that's the main reason only a few consider going into business. More importantly, if some go into business, most never consider going into big business.

In our recent boot camp training, one of my favorite mentor gave a talk about succeeding by maintaining high energy. What amazed me so much is his little child. "Christian, is it ok to fail?" he asked. And the 6 year old child replied in his nice little voice with,"Yes." "What would you do if you fail?" he gave another question. "Practice more,"was the reply.

Just imagine where this child would be in the future with a very strong mental foundation with regards to failing and success. No wonder rich people become richer for they pass on to their children the mindset of a successful person. And one of their mindset is it's OK to fail.

Are you scared of failing? How catastrophic can you handle today? Business takes risk. Are you willing to take risks?

One of my favorite lessons in Rich Dad Books is we need to learn how to manage risk. Before, I never consider using the leverage OPM or Other People's Money. I've always used to use my own money to invest in business. But today, with the guidance of mentors and successful businessmen, I'm fine with using OPM. One way of reducing risk in order to make it manageable is having mentors that will guide you through who have experience. And that's one of my advantages that's my business is doing great.

Going into business needs strong mental attitude towards failure and success. You also would need guidance from experienced businessmen who are really doing business on their own. Like what my mentor would sometimes ask,"If you would want to be the best accountant, would you ask an engineer?" The answer is obvious and, thus, if ever you want to be the best in business, you need to ask someone who is successful in business. Be careful to whom you get your advises and to whom you are always with. Being successful means being a great blessing to others. And we need more people who are successful to lead our country forward to prosperity.

Cheers!
