Anthony emphasizes the need to move away from a transactional mindset and focus on building genuine relationships with prospects. He shares his personal experience of setting goals that are emotionally invested and how it has driven his success.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

Selling from the heart means genuinely caring about solving a problem for the prospect and being invested in the outcome after the sale.

Money is just a way to keep score; the real motivation comes from setting goals that are emotionally invested.

To shift from a transactional mindset to a meaningful goal-setting mindset, start by identifying the worst-case scenario if you fail and realize that it's not as bad as it seems.

Anticipate adversity and plan for it in your goal-setting process.

Create smarter goals that are emotionally invested and have a reward attached to them.

HIGHLIGHT QUOTES

"Selling from the heart is truly believing that the product or service I'm selling can solve a problem that I completely understand." - Anthony Garcia

"Money is just a way to keep the score at the end of the game. But the goal is what drives me." - Anthony Garcia

"If you hit your other goal, that opportunity will present itself." - Anthony Garcia

"What if you failed? What's the worst-case scenario? Usually, it's such a minute instance in your life." - Anthony Garcia

"Plan for adversity on a daily basis. It doesn't have to be catastrophic; it could be as simple as a product going on backorder." - Anthony Garcia

This week I'm talking about the power of failure to help us thrive in new ways.

I've personally seen how my own perceived failures have led to my best successes.

Not always in the way I anticipated or wanted, but it's always worked out in the end.

In this episode, I explore the power of failure and how it can set us on a course for success as we reinvent ourselves.

I also discuss three ways that failure can contribute to our success: by building our persistence muscle, offering lessons we need to learn, and helping us see new possibilities. Join me as I delve into the first of these three points, and stay tuned for upcoming solo episodes where I'll explore the other two.

It's the first of a 3-part series about how powerful failure can be to catapult us forward - even when it doesn't feel good at all. (because honestly, when does failing ever feel good? 😉)

Tune in to hear:

✳️ Three specific ways that failure can contribute to our success
✳️ The power of persistence to turn failures into growth opportunities
✳️ How quitting a corporate job to become a health coach was a failure that lead to my ultimate success

Need some inspiration as you navigate reinvention? It's all about perspective and the willingness to "fail forward".

Pop in your ear buds, relax and let's get inspired to see failures as paving the way to our personal growth.

Award-winning entrepreneur Ahmed Ben Chaibah opens the story of AquaFun with a moment at the beach. While relaxing in the sun, Ahmed overheard a parent complain about how they wished their kids could have fun in a way that let them have peace. The single lightbulb moment led Ahmed to build what would eventually become the biggest inflatable waterpark in the world. 

Ahmed shares how success does not come without brave, inspired risk. He shares how he let himself go into debt in order to finance the structuring of the waterpark into its iconic Dubai shape. Years later, the 44,000 square-meter waterpark has expanded into what Ahmed describes as "the biggest bouncy castle in the world". 

And still, Ahmed's ideas keep flowing. He shares his vision for the future of AquaFun, and how they can incorporate advertising in inventive new ways. Listen to the episode to learn more about Ahmed's inspiring journey and ambitious vision, such as:

• How he overcame 617 rejections before getting his first yes
• How he overcame the fear of failure and, in doing so, found success
• His unique strategy for turning notorious critics into die-hard fans of AquaFun

3x Gold medalist Brendan Hansen digs in with host Barton about looking at the silver lining of failure. Brendan’s mindset of failure has been honed since he started swimming with the help of the coaches he had. Because of this, it became the fire that drove his desire to be the best. In this episode, Brendan shares why every failure is an opportunity to learn.

Established Mindset

From childhood, the concept of failure was already known to Brendan. He got used to failure quickly because he hung out with his brother’s friends, who are three years older than he is. His parents would describe his mindset as very much like the underdog. So when Brendan got into swimming, he quickly pushed his capabilities to the limit. He had an excellent developmental coach who was there to make every failure a learning opportunity. Whenever Brendan does something wrong, his coach would pull him to the side and tell him how to do it correctly. Having this foundation of mindset was what made Brendan ready to take head-on whatever challenge there is. Being told that he is going to fail his way to success was perceived positively rather than negatively. It was perceived as a way to grow from the experience, and that helps Brendan understand how to tweak moving forward. 

Failure Mentality

The summer before Brendan went to the University of Texas, he participated in the 2000 Olympic Trials. Landing first or second place would mean qualifying to the US Olympic Swimming Team. Brendan was confident and felt as if he was the number one breaststroker in the world. It was his first opportunity to swim at the international level. Unfortunately, despite doing everything right as his coach intended him to, Brendan failed to make it to the Olympic team. He finished third place in the 100m and 200m breaststroke. He brought that experience when he walked into the University of Texas and took to heart his mindset of failing his way to success. Brendan believes that surrounding himself with better people than him pushes up the intensity to excel. He had nine Olympians with him on the university team. It was a good thing for Brendan because seeing his college roommate win an Olympic gold medal also pushed him to succeed.
