Time spent on planning and working for success

Time spent on understanding why we failed

Time spent on informing or resetting as we pivot.

Evaluation is all sectors of life and work have a corollary. Many business, institutions and governments fail to evaluate and analyze failures. It sets them up for future failure as they blindly go forward.

Failure analysis doesn’t solve the problem it just reveals mistakes, false assumptions and factors effecting outcomes. It informs your plans to pivot and try again. It gives you a better chance to set up the game so that you can win.

Should we try again after we fail?

The reason that people don’t talk about or focus on failures is that some personal failures are very personal and private. It is somewhat of a dichotomy that some can be successful in one aspect of their lives but not in others or in more important aspects of their lives.

Tension between what you have and what you want. And knowing the how to maintain both.

The radio host example: Local radio host Doug Wright vs Rush Limbaugh. Does Doug want that? But he does have success in that realm. So do you focus on the failure or the success and then working for the dream? Do you strive?

The premise of most of Jim Gaffigan’s comedy is based upon his failure.

Next book - the sequel.

“Don’t say a positive word: Why people don’t believe you.”

-military experience in which they tear you down to build you up. Join-up by Monty Roberts as a contrast.

We need skills to work with people and team up. Collaboration is the key to most successes in life. We have to be believable and articulate

For those who are autistic then that is a problem

New book: Collaboration in an autistic world.

I like this idea. Too much work to ever finish the thought.

Trying to think of a formula

Failure analysis = identify indicators for success + implement changes + course correction = capitalize on success

Failed Achievement Analysis:

The practice and method of looking at failure of humans to achieve their goals and aspiration. The analysis provides areas of correction and recalibration of future goals.

We spend a lot of time talking about goals and other positive stuff. We need to look clearly and our failures and measure of success. We then have opportunity to shift targets.
