Episode notes
The story of Spanx illustrates the importance of embracing failure and persistence. As a child, the founder was taught to destigmatize failure and view it as a valuable learning opportunity by her father. She redefined failure as not trying, rather than not achieving the desired outcome. Despite facing numerous rejections and obstacles in launching Spanx, she persisted, trusted her intuition, and pushed forward. She chose to ignore negativity, believing that failure lay in not trying rather than in unsuccessful outcomes. This attitude led to the massive success of Spanx, valued at $1.2 billion in October 2021, showcasing how resilience in the face of failure and persistence can lead to significant achievements.
