Failure is not something you should worry about
You don’t start a task or project because you’re scared of failure not because of the outcome.
We too often put things off for another day or procrastinate way too much, again, not because we’re scared of the outcome, but the failure we think it will be by our peers.
Stop thinking failure is a bad thing because often the fact that we fail makes you a stronger person and you learn from those ‘mistakes’.

so do you ever fail it starting
something do you get annoyed like I
shouldn't start this hi my name is Kay
I'm a tech minimalist and I help people
organize their technology so they can
free up their time so in today's episode
I want to go through starting something
whether it's something personal whether
it's something on your computer just
anything that you want to start a task
going on a holiday and a booking that
holiday etc work the the issue we have
is not not necessarily the task but the
failure of the task and that's the
reason why we don't jump in and actually
do it so the failure of the task meaning
is it good are people gonna like it I'm
not sure if I'm if I know what I'm
talking about
any kind of failure is the is actually
the reason why we don't start that task
that thing so I came across an issue
personally where I kept putting things
off all the time and I couldn't I'm not
going to go through the details of what
is and I couldn't figure out why I
weren't doing it I wasn't putting it off
it was more cases I just didn't want to
start it and then I suddenly realized
that I just kicked myself in the ass and
actually did it again with my bungee
jumper I talked about in a previous
video once I made that jump once I made
that commitment I felt and I and I saw
everything falling into place for
instance yesterday I started making a
video course now I put that off for a
long long long time but as soon as I sat
down actually rice I started writing
stuff down
that was my jump over the edge I
realized that I knew more than I thought
and you make sure yeah one thing
but I realized that I could it would
kind of snowballed into place and I was
able to put all the pieces together and
now I'm pretty much halfway there which
is a good thing actually so the the
point is once you start you realize you
should have done this a long long time
ago so the whole point of this episode
is don't wait find the thing that you
actually want to do you have it in your
mind already you know how to do it it's
actually in your mind you're just not
writing it down or you're not taking the
action to actually get it done get it
done start writing it doesn't matter how
badly is I am absolutely useless at
writing never was good at it at school
never has been never been good at it at
work at I hate writing blocks and stuff
and so I like making videos and it it
actually makes more sense for me so
these videos have done so much more for
me personally than any of my writing in
my 50 odd years that I'm on this planet
anyway that's the video today hope you
benefit from it if you have any comments

updating them in to with with more
information so just go to make
