Many of us have taken our licks and lost the big game, or got hurt, sick or fired. This is actually a big part of winning and anyone who has won big or had success of any kind will tell you they have lost big, too.
I remember the day I got fired from Hyatt Hotels, my dream job…three promotions in 2.5 years and I just loved the challenges each day gave me. That day my mom called. I had never been fired before and I was crying. I didn’t see it coming. Corporate politics, I told her…
She told me two things:
- One day you will look back on this day and laugh. You will realize this is all part of the learning process and growing up.
- You have to be honest with yourself. Be accountable and learn from the mistakes you have made and improve in some areas where maybe you’re not yet as good as you need to be.
Game changer!
The bottom line is, you always have the excuses as to why you fail or fall. It’s always someone else’s fault, or “they had it in for me,” the company is messed up or nobody knows what they are doing.
But, more times than not the truth is your friend (even though it will piss you off first).
Self-improvement and self-analysis is key. It's okay to lose, don't lose the lesson.
Learners are earners. That’s exactly what I did: I got to the book store and started reading about how to be more positive, how to be a better leader and manager.
Yeah, I took my firing personally, but I also didn’t dwell on it. I just set my sights on improving and getting better.
A good book on the subject: We Got Fired by Harvey Mackay.
And a good song: Lost by Coldplay with Jay-Z
See how those resonate with you.
Being the winner of a multi-million dollar lottery certainly will be a life-changing event for almost every single lottery winner. My name is Mavis Wanczyk from Chicopee, Massachusetts, the famous PowerBall lottery winner of $758 million (£591m). I know many people would wonder how I had won the lottery. Would you believe me if I told you that I did it with spell casting? I met this famous spell caster known as Doctor Odunga and he was the one who did it for me. As shocking as it was to me, my famous comment to the press was “ I’m going to go and hide in my bed.” Never did I believe that Doctor Odunga made me wealthy overnight. If you want to have your chance of winning and becoming very wealthy just like me, contact Doctor Odunga at odungaspelltemple@gmail.com OR WHATS-APP HIM at +2348167159012 and you will be lucky. Thanks for reading and hope to see you at the top
You didn’t dwell on your firing from Hyatt Hotels, or your firing from your namesake company, Steiner Sports?!? Just trying to make sense of this…
