BRX Pro Tip: Success and Failure Are Not Binary
Stone Payton: [00:00:00] And we are back with Business RadioX Pro Tips. Stone Payton and Lee Kantor here with you. Lee, I like success better than failure. It seems to be a lot more fun. But the truth of the matter is, at least in business, success and failure really are not binary.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:18] No, of course not. In most cases, there’s a spectrum of success. You may not get the ultimate prize, but you could still be winning. You may not go all the way out of business, but you could be trending that way. So, the key to all of this is to just keep trying.
Lee Kantor: [00:00:33] Like we had someone, Katy Galli, who used to work for us that said, “Keep moving forward.” That’s what you have to be doing every day. You can’t be paralyzed by inaction. And I think that people want to wait, a lot of the times, to see what’s what. And you just don’t have time to wait because it’s moving. The ground is moving beneath your feet. So, you cannot just wait things out. You’ve got to kind of do something.
Lee Kantor: [00:01:01] Business realities are always a moving target. There’s a saying, “People plan and the universe laughs.” Next time you’re uncertain, instead of waiting, try something. Try something crazy. What do you have to lose? And especially if things are trending in the wrong direction for you, take some shots. You don’t have anything to lose, but you have to take action.
