EPISODE SIXTY FOUR
“I have failed over and over in my career but that is why I succeed” – Michael Jordan
Today’s athlete needs no introduction. From billboards to spreads in magazines, he is as popular as the come.
It can even be said that he is the first athlete to be a cross over star. To be known all over the world for being a master of his craft. He starred in music songs and ads and even the regulars who had no interest in sports knew who Michael Jordan was.
His story is special and the lessons we learn from him are extra-ordinary. Not just basketball but about the struggle of life and the constant battle to improve and get better.
3 KEY LESSONS
- Accept that failure is a part of the process
- Ensure you practice everyday
- Be dedicated to your craft
It’s a pleasure to explore the lessons we can learn from MJ in Episode 64.

ACTION FOR TODAY
Here are a few questions to ask yourself:
- Have I accepted that failure is a part of the process?
- Am I ensuring that I’m working everyday to get better at my craft?
You need to start changing your perception of failure. You need to re-orientate yourself so you see that failure is good for you. MJ was cut from his high school basketball team but still went on to become the greatest of all time.
Your own failures can be your springboard to success.
Be like MJ.
