The New Year is a time for celebration as we usher out the old and bring in the new.

What “new” are you bringing in this year?

Obviously, bringing in “new” is what New Year’s Resolutions are all about.  In business that means setting new targets or goals.  Plus, learning new strategies and tools.  Another word for new could be change.  And, here is often the rub.

Most of us, at best, resist and typically fear change.  That’s why it is so difficult for us to set those resolutions to make those ‘tough’ business calls.  It means we have to develop new ways of thinking, develop new skills, and expect to fail.  Yes fail.  If we are doing something “new,” a realistic expectation is that we shall fail before we fully succeed.  Unfortunately, many adults fear failing with such passion they will do almost anything to avoid it.

We didn’t always do that.  Neither you nor I was born with a fear of failure.  We learned to be afraid to fail.  How am I so sure of you?  No,  I don’t have any magical powers and I”m not looking over your shoulder.  Here is how I know.

You learned to walk.  And you failed.  You failed at walking many times before you were able to stop crawling and get up on your feet and be steady.  And even though you were afraid of falling, you were exuberant and excited and did it anyway.  (If you doubt me, check out the wild eyed look of a toddler learning to walk.  If that expression isn’t a cross between excitement and fear, I’ve never seen it.)  Do you ride a bike?  How many times did you fall off your bike before you got your balance?  Do you dance?  How long did it take you to learn to dance so you didn’t step on your partner’s toes.  Do you play golf?  I try and make a brilliant shot occasionally.  The rest of the time I work to enjoy my frustration.  What do these things all have in common? Failure – Practice – Courage.

Failure

Failing is a natural consequence of doing something new.  Failure is a natural consequence of learning and growing.  Take a moment to think of all the things you’ve learned to do in this world you wouldn’t be doing, if you allowed fear of failure to stop you.  My life would be pretty drab and uninteresting.  How about yours?

Practice – Practice

Life is a learning curve.  Everything new that comes our way in which we choose to participate, brings with it a learning curve.  We learn by practice.  We learn by trial and error.   We learn by understanding our errors and then practicing with the new information.  Some things we learn faster than others.  Regardless, we are not pros when we begin something new or change how we do something.  For that reason our businesses become strong and successful for the same reason a professional musician gets to Carnegie Hall, we practice, practice, practice everything that we do which is “new” until we own it.

Courage

Courage is not the absence of fear.  Courage is what we have when we ‘do it anyway’ in the face of our fear.  Courage is a state of mind buttressed by the tools and support needed to move through our doubts and fears.

Our goal at Savvy Sponsoring is to personally coach you to:

• Actively go after what you want.
• Get the tools you need to move your learning curve way up the chart.
• Surround yourself with the necessary support to help you reach inside – to find your courage to fail and fail again in order
