[Classic Rewind] Casey Baugh: You Can’t Fail If You Don’t Quit

In this episode, Jason, Scott, and Casey discuss:

• Giving your best and getting ready for luck
• The purpose and benefit of setback 
• Embracing failure as a part of business 
• Successful people are sharp

Key Takeaways:

• Success is all about giving your heart and soul to something, planning your every week, and doing your best consistently for a very long time. Luck does nothing for a person who doesn’t do their best or is not prepared for it. 
• Trails and setbacks in life keep us humble and humility opens our eyes to see opportunities in places we wouldn’t have thought to explore before. 
• Failure is a part of the entrepreneurship journey, don’t be afraid of it. The basic template for startups is to fail fast, fail cheap, and iterate. Faith matters a lot, regardless of your religious beliefs 
• Let yourself shine in your lane and lean into your strengths. Focus on building up growth in the areas that you are good at. Don’t be well rounded, be sharp - have two or three skills and strive to make them world-class. 

"The best entrepreneurs that I know embrace failure as a step forward and a learning experience. They just take it as an outcome that happened and reevaluate it, make a new plan, and ultimately - you can't fail, if you won't quit." —  Casey Baugh
