| 0:00.0 | Episode 41 of The Millionaire Mindcast, Overcoming the Fear of Failure. |
| 0:06.1 | It's time for your weekly dose of thought-provoking conversation on this week's Friday Food for Thought. |
| 0:17.4 | What's going on, everyone? Welcome into another episode of Millionaire Mindcast, the show where mindset and money meet. |
| 0:25.2 | I am your host, Maddie A, and as always, I'm honored to be sharing a little sliver of your time with you today. |
| 0:31.2 | You know, I was having a conversation the other day, and it was with a friend of mine. |
| 0:36.1 | We were at a mastermind in Colorado and I asked him. |
| 0:38.5 | I said, you know, what's one thing that you think is holding us back from reaching our full |
| 0:43.4 | potential? And his answer was really quite interesting. He said, I simply believe what holds us |
| 0:49.6 | back is our fear of failure. It's our desire for certainty and safety that overpowers us and we choose |
| 0:57.4 | the known and the safe versus the unknown and the dangerous. And he went on to say, you know, |

| 1:28.8 | this, I couldn't help, but I want to add my two cents and my two cents are this. If you have a fear |
| 1:34.7 | of failure, I want you to think about something for a second. Failure is just a man-made circumstance. |
| 1:42.4 | This is something that we create within our own mind. And what we need to |
| 1:47.9 | remind ourselves is failure is not permanent unless we say it is. Right. Failure is not an outcome |
| 1:54.8 | that is irreversible or it's not a destination that we can never return from so this should excite you that you have the |
| 2:02.3 | option to continue failing until you succeed i think of you know thomas edison's famous quote i have |
| 2:09.2 | not failed i've just found 10,000 ways that won't work and that was a perfect example of him saying, look, failure is not deemed real in my mind |
