Failing Forward: How Losing My Business Helped Me Rise Again
Sometimes the best thing that can happen… is failing.
In this solo episode of Raise the Anchor, I’m diving into the powerful concept of Failing Forward by John Maxwell and how one of my biggest failures (losing a business I poured my heart into) became the catalyst for a stronger comeback.
I open up about what it looked like to feel like everything was falling apart, and how that moment forced me to slow down, reevaluate, and reconnect with my true passion and purpose. It wasn’t easy, but it was necessary. And it gave me a completely new lens on what success really means.
Inside this episode:
- A real and raw story of failure in business
- How the concept of Failing Forward helped shift my mindset
- 3 reflection questions to help you move forward when things don’t go to plan
If you’ve ever questioned your path, felt like you’ve “messed it up,” or wondered if you’ll ever bounce back, this episode is for you.
