I don’t know about you but I learn by failing! Yes, no one is perfect and no one knows all the answers! That’s why failures make you great! 

Maybe you have goals this year to lose weight or take your health more seriously. Maybe you’d like to start that business you’ve always dreamed of…

I learned by failing at the first Marketing and Graphic Design Agency I worked for in Denver. I had a senior designer above me who critiqued everything I did and pointed out every imperfection and mistake, nothing I did was ever good enough to her. This of course lit a fire in me and made me hungry for more. I put up a fight, I stayed later, I worked harder, I wasn’t satisfied. The big frown on her face and lack of enthusiasm made me push harder and helped me grow a thicker skin. 2 years later I realized she was teaching me a lesson and pushing me towards being a better designer. I had a dream of starting my own business years ago, but I really had no idea how to start. I failed and kept on failing until one day you just figure out what works for you.

Failure is a good thing, it helps us grow, learn from our own experiences and test out what really works that’s why I’m sharing this!

All we can do is keep trying our best! If you only make one promise this year, let it be to simply try your best! And to look towards the future with optimism.
