If you haven’t failed in 6-months, then you are not risking.   Today's featured bestselling author is success coach, acclaimed keynote speaker, and USMC veteran, Michael Botts. Michael and I have a great chat about success, giving yourself permission to feel bad for a moment and tons more!!!   Key Takeaways:   Adapt and overcome. This fundamental military principle is a necessity for those looking to be successful in business.   Veterans should never forget what they overcame on the battlefield and apply it to civilian livelihood to amplify their self-confidence.   Allow yourself to feel bad temporarily but with the intention of eventually feeling good again afterward.   “Success and failure are twins.” Risk, fail and learn. don't forget about the learning part!   Master the fundamentals of your industry.   “Embrace small beginnings.”   “Failure is your friend."   “Success is simple, success is boring and success is very achievable.”   Michael's Site: https://www.themichaelbottsexperience.com/    Michael's Book: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1728839939/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&linkCode=sl1&tag=tmbex-20&linkId=4cfef9e8a97735eefa69806bbcf36e0b&language=en_US      Related Episodes: 28 - The Wright Thought with Luke Wright (@Lukemotivates): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/28-the-wright-thought-with-luke-wright-lukemotivates   45 - "From the Incubator to the Kingdom" with Dr. Duane Mangum (@i_blend1): http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/45-from-the-incubator-to-the-kingdom-with-dr-duane-mangum-i_blend1   84 - "Innovation and Leadership" with Dr. Jeff Standridge: http://goingnorth.libsyn.com/84-innovation-and-leadership-with-dr-jeff-standridge   The opening track is titled "Just Like Cap" by Asis Galvin.
