Learning from Loss: The Untold Benefits

Failure is the opportunity to begin again more intelligently.

Henry Ford said that.

Now I'm guessing you wouldn't label Henry Ford as a failure?

But in Henry's time he failed A LOT.

So has Tony.

And so have you.

But we're not outright failures just because we have chequered business pasts.

In fact the opposite.

What sets us apart is our ability use losses and challenges to fuel us and set us on the path to success.

Phil and Phil know that mindset is make or break in business.

So they sat down and recorded this episode on it.

  • Learn to apprciate how life is always working in your favor
  • Adapt on the fly and come out of a downturn better off
