You are going to make mistakes, and you need to be okay with that. Striving for perfection is beautiful, but thinking you need to be perfect now is damaging. It makes you hide who you really are, prevents you from asking for help, and makes you less human. Jason shares the major mistakes he made in his career. Installing a duct bank where a sewer line should go and costing $350,000. Flooding a basement with four inches of water. Almost getting fired for being siloed and stubborn with a fixed mindset. The more transparent and open he was about mistakes, the less painful they became and the more people rallied to help him. If you are not okay with making mistakes, you will not take risks, fulfill your potential, or have the confidence you need to lead.
What you'll learn in this episode:
- Why thinking you need to be perfect now is damaging and makes you hide who you really are
- How Jason shifted from fixed mindset to growth mindset in six months and went from almost fired to training nationwide
- The science of momentum: peak state, find passion, commit, take massive intelligent action
- How to reduce friction and increase addiction to build new habits that stick
- Why being transparent about mistakes makes them less painful and gets the team to rally around you
Everybody makes mistakes. Get used to it. It is how we show up in those moments that matters.
