This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

David,

How do you learn to trust yourself again after “failures” when your sub-conscious very strongly keeps reminding you of those failures and constructs new ways of keeping you stuck?

Fantastic question!

Failure is simply a judgment placed on a result.

The real problem lies with how we THINK and FEEL about failure.

If you fail and attach emotional meaning to that failure, it will trigger a core belief about yourself.

You may even say things to yourself like:

“I’m not smart enough, I’m never going to succeed, I can’t believe this isn’t working, what’s wrong with me?”

“My parents were right…”

Or even

“ I don’t even know why I bother…”

This is how the downward spiral starts.

The truth is that failure is nothing more than a result.

And the purpose of that result is for our own learning.

Begin to see failure
as a GIFT.

Ask yourself:

What don’t I understand about this?

Who do I need to be to get a different result?

The most successful people in the world have experienced more failure than success.

After all, your own success lies in the ability to respond to results… to course correct and take risks in order to get different results without attaching emotions.

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from someone who wishes to remain anonymous.

Hi David! I have a successful business by all accounts. We have a high profit margin, my team is amazing, and we’re growing. The problem: I’m bored. And I’m not happy.

I have an idea for a new business venture, but it seems risky and I’m equally excited and terrified (because of the financial risk) to step into this and bring it to market.

Any wise words of wisdom that may help me figure out what I should do?

GREAT question, and here’s the truth:

Things won’t always turn out the way you want them to. Look at what some of the most influential business people have done.

Jeff Bezos views ANY new idea as an experiment…and every experiment has the potential to fail. But here is the difference…Bezos doesn’t allow his failures to define his value. He sees failure as part of what is required in all areas of business.

And let me tell you, he’s had his fair share of failures… ah hem… remember the Fire Smartphone? Yeah, me neither…that’s because it was a total flop.

Here’s the thing.

If it excites you and terrifies you, you’re on the right path!

Obviously you want to do your research and make sure there’s a market for what you want to create, but if the market is there and you’ve done your research, the risk is worth the reward.

Don’t let your results define you. See, any obstacle or failure is an opportunity to learn, grow and make what you’re creating even better.

The fact that you’re bored and unhappy is an indicator that it’s time to stretch and grow.

And if you’re not growing, you’re dying.

I recently wrote an article that was published by CNBC and Yahoo Finance that I think may help as well.

Hi David,

I’m not getting any younger. I have things I want to create and people I want to impact. How do I turn my past financial failures into financial success very quickly?

This week's question from my portal “The Neagle Code: Directions for Life” comes from Bryan S.

Hi David,

Can you please tell me how to get over the fear of success? I believe it’s what’s continually stopping me from hitting my goals!

Thank you so much!

Hi Bryan and thanks for your question!

The truth is that no one is actually afraid of success.

That’s a false lie created by our ego.

If you were afraid of success, you’d never put your pants on the in the morning, because even putting your pants on is a success.

In reality what people ARE afraid of is:

1) The fear of what they believe they will have to sacrifice to be successful. This is mainly true in regard to relationships.

2) The fear of what people will think if they were successful.

3) The fear of what people will think if they fail.

These are the top 3, but of course there are many other fears that keep us bound in chains and constantly striving for success yet never achieving it.

So you are correct, you are sabotaging your success.

Universal truth states that we create everything; all the good and bad, all the successes and all the failures.

So you need to get very clear on how never achieving the success you want keeps you safe.

I know you’re thinking, “No David, not having the success keeps me feeling unsafe, why would I not want success?”

And I would answer that you have to consider what fear is renting space in your brain, because if you wanted that success as much as you wanted air to breath, you would have it.
