Every new level of growth starts with taking that first step—and being willing to fall along the way.

If You're Not Falling

August 27, 20262 min read

When you were a small child, you learned to crawl.

Then, a little while later, you decided it was time to walk.

During the time you learned to walk, you likely fell down. A lot.

But each time you fell, you got back up and tried again. Walking was that important to you.

When you think about it, you were taking a big leap in your growth. You were going from being stable on four limbs close to the floor, to a wobbly mess on two legs really far from the floor.

The risk of falling and getting injured was pretty significant.

But you did it anyway.

Now, you can walk without even thinking about it. It's second nature.

Growth in your business works the same way.

You have to take some risk, to stretch your boundaries, to be willing to fall a few times before you get the hang of the next stage of growth.

One of my favorite sayings is a Japanese proverb, "Fall seven time, get up eight".

My challenge for you today is to decide what your next level of success is and take the leap to get there. Even if you fall, you can get back up.
