Deep dives

Struggle is Not Failure

Struggling does not equate to failure, and this misconception can hinder leaders. Everyone faces challenges, and it is important to recognize that remaining in the game despite difficulties is a sign of resilience. Successful individuals often experience struggles throughout their journey but persist without giving up, reinforcing the idea that struggle is part of the path to achievement. Quitting is the only true failure, while pressing on through adversity is essential for growth and success.
