Your success depends on ONE thing…
YOUR COME BACK RATE.
COME BACK RATE: How quickly you pop back up after being hit down by failure.
Whether it’s someone telling you NO at work, eating too much carrot cake, or skipping exercise. We’ve all been there. Failure happens to EVERYONE, however…
Successful people have a FAST come back rate. They fail, but don’t let it get them down. They brush themselves off & get right back up.
Unsuccessful people have a SLOW come back rate. They fail, and beat themselves up for too long. They can’t get back up because all their energy is going into self-judgement & self- doubt.
GOOD NEWS!
You can SPEED UP your COME BACK RATE by practicing this 2-Step System:
1) Forgive. Be nice to yourself, not critical.
2) Be Curious. Don’t brush failure under the rug & don’t fixate on it. Instead, examine the facts of the failure, without emotion, to find ways to prevent it in the future.
Use my Screw Up Worksheet to improve your COME BACK RATE.
Remember: It’s not about getting off track, it’s about how FAST you can get back on.

I agree with your come back rate philosophy! Even people like Michael Jordan had to fail to become successful.
