The Fail MORE Strategy w/Bill Wooditch

<p>One of the things that holds us back when it comes to growing our business is fear. And while we fear many things, it’s often the fear of failure that hinders us from achieving our dreams. Yet, Bill Wooditch - entrepreneur, leadership coach, and author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller <a href= "https://billwooditch.com/fail-more/"><em>Fail More: Embrace, Learn, and Adapt to Failure as a Way to Success</em></a> -  believes that fear can empower us and that failure is an essential ingredient to success. Through determination and the “Always Forward” mindset he developed, Bill overcame his life’s challenges and forged his way to building a multi-million-dollar company.</p> <p>Bill joins me today to discuss why failure is key to success. He reveals the biggest regret that he faced in his life and explains how he overcame it. He describes how you can avoid regret and how action is a salve to failure and an antidote to fear. He discusses how a person has the power to learn and grow from their mistakes and explains why being risk-averse is part of being human. He also underscores the difference between dreams and fantasies and highlights why you need to define what success means to you.</p> <p> </p> <p>“Change that narrative.
