It drives me nuts when people say this
Here’s a sentence I would love to never hear again—
“You learn nothing from success.”
What are you talking about!!
You can learn SO MUCH from your successes.
I hate the idea that progress can only come from pain.
That growth has to be uncomfortable.
That learning has to involve feeling crappy about yourself.
Yes, that can be true sometimes.
But you can also learn so much by analyzing what’s working, or has worked in the past!
Your successes contain the playbook for more success in the future.
And if you don’t analyze and understand that playbook…
You’ll feed the idea that your successes were just luck, or random flukes, or created by factors outside your control.
And if all you do is analyze your failures and mistakes, while ignoring what’s working…
You’ll start to see yourself as a collection of flaws to be fixed rather than a set of powerful strengths to be built on.
So here’s what I want you to do today—
Study your success like a scientist 🧑🏻🔬
Make a list of 3-5 times in the past when you did something well.
And then study that list. What created your success?
What actions did you take?
What were you thinking and feeling, that drove you to take those actions naturally and intuitively?
How was your environment structured?
How did others support you?
What are the common factors across your examples?
And most importantly: How do you start to see yourself, when you define yourself by your successes rather than your failures?
Start building out that playbook.
And if you want some help fleshing it out, or applying it in other areas of your life…

What my clients have to say…
“I realized that you can learn just as much from your wins as from your losses. When you have aspirations and big ambitions, it's really easy to be harsh on yourself.
What changed the game for me was realizing that being mean to yourself and making progress are not related to each other at all.
Actually, you can have a completely normal, healthy relationship with yourself and encourage yourself AND make progress. I enjoy the process so much more now.”
