Overcome Fear of Failure: Why What You Do After You Fail Really Matters

Fear of failure can be totally paralyzing. When you fall, you have a choice: to get back up or to take the easy and safe way out. In today’s MarieTV episode you’ll find out how to overcome the fear of failure and be empowered by your mistakes, rather than trapped by them.

"Once you get back up you are no longer the person who fell, you are actually the person who' s still riding" What a great phrase, thank you Marie for all the inspiration and support!!

Three years ago I had a crushing break up followed by a professional slump. I spent two months in a little snotty ball, not even able to leave the house. Little by little I found ways to move forward. Now I'm knee deep in a doctoral program loving the challenge and remembering that I can do hard things- whether that's a research paper or just getting out of bed. Marie, you continue to inspire and remind all of us to keep going. Thanks for sharing YOUR special gift that the world certainly needs :)

Fear of failure is my arch nemesis. Oh my goodness is it something I've had to deal with. Along with that, I'm a perfectionist. This stopped me in my tracks for so long. This year, I've decided to kill/hate my old self, and be okay with putting things out that aren't "perfect".

I Agree Completely! Failure is the price of success for many of us. Some of the best lessons I've learned came directly from failing. It is our failures that teach us the most.

I started today with such an overwhelming sense of oppression in my mind and my body because of all of the things I knew I had to do and thinking I really had no will to do them. One by one I started to clear to them away, and by four pm I'd gotten my self-dressed and out of my pjs. There was no crash in my story today, but it felt like there was a bike still weighing me down. My day is ending at the opposite end of scale. I have inspiration, motivation and purpose. Marie, you are such a ray of sunshine. :)

I'm not gonna get into specifics, but let's just say I went from struggling achiever in sophomore year to a total flop in senior year. After I graduated high school, I saved money to invest in myself. I can't lie, I still feel like a failure, but at least I'm relieved knowing that I'm no longer doing nothing about my fall.

I so needed to hear this today! Thanks Marie, and I love the tweetable today!

[roothiecakes]

I enjoyed this video. I do have to say that I absolutely LOVE your dress!!!!

I swear everytime I did what Marie did and got up and off my failure and tried again, I never regretted it because at the end of it all, I would feel free from my failure !
I had stage fright and hated public speaking, and even had experienced people talking sh-- about me not being good at performing but I tried again and again and now I get told that I did great after any public event where I am required to stand infront of people! I can slowly but surely feel myself improving from what I used to be like in such situations and really recommend anyone else in such a situation to do the same :)

Do you sometimes get the feeling that the moment you get cocky and say " I got this", the Universe makes it a point to "teach you a lesson of humility via failure?" Much like a tough parent! Once you learn the lesson and approach the challenge with a little more preparation and "groundedness", there's usually a big reward waiting.

Hey Marie,
It is always scary to try again when you kind of fail. but what you said is very true. Always be ready to do it again until it become so easy. this gave me strength.

[darralandrews]

So many people watch and wait for somebody to fail. I on the other hand give them no pleasure on what they'd like to see. I'm giving 110 % a day and then giving some more..

I'm so happy to hear you were OK . . . 1st mistake is riding in shorts and I assume, sandles - EEK! I learned the hard way and it cost me dearly for the rest of my life . . . after several months of therapy and healing I got back on to the back of a bike (to my mother's horror at the time) BUT I wore jeans and boots. I've had so many failures in life it's difficult to pick just one! I'd have to say the most impactful overall is the failure of my first marriage. I stayed too long (26 years) in a relationship with someone that had VERY different values than I did even though we were a great team in many ways. We built finances well together, we renovated one house and built another together from the ground up. I have no regrets and would not change a thing because in doing that there is so much I may have never been compelled to learn AND I would never have had the greatest love in life, my son OR met my dream partner in life, my current husband. I started dating one year after filing for divorce. Because my divorce was horrendous (won't get into ugly details here) people told me to stay single and just have "fun" don't get serious. Although things ended very badly with my first marriage I knew I wanted to marry again someday. My first date was with my current husband and I never looked back. We dated almost 4 years before we married . . . that was almost 13 years ago. Failure, mistakes, adversity overall builds resiliency . . . there are difficult things I purposefully do in my somewhat cushy life just to make sure I don't get too complacent . . . great episode!

Thanks Marie, needed this kind of inspiration today. Had an interview, felt like i trashed it, felt like stumbled, didnt want to stand up. Ur vid was so helpful to me today to get my ass off the ground. Thank you Marie <33

[stephlu]

similar thing happened to me ha ha ha ... trying to climb a mountain with it ! I was proud that I was able to laugh at myself and get back on ! thanks Marie

im not as scared anymore to fail in front of people

[ImOliviaJ]

Great video Marie I love that you told us a personal story. I've definitely had times where I have fallen flat on my face, but I agree completely that what is most important is never giving up!

[shahdosman]

I'm fresh graduate and i had an interview 4 days a go and i was so anxious because i really wanted that job but wasn't sure deep down inside if they will take me cus i have no experiences so they started asking me so many questions and pressuring me and out of no where i cried lol . its was embarrassing for me but it made me think about a lot of things and i ended up learning more about my self and how to respond instead of reaction in the moment and to practice and get enough information before heading into an interview, i have another one tmw wish me luck .

[missalhindi]

I always laugh when I fall which rarely happens either laugh and enjoy or get laughed at and I choose to enjoy

[mistajay]

Thanks Marie. I like your energy and clarity. You are contagious

So many challenges this past year. In the middle of so many different situations that are forcing me to grow and it is super tough so this helped. Often feel like giving up but I also really believe in the business!!
