Fail Big or Stay Small




Here’s the cold, hard truth: failure isn’t the villain of your story—fear is. Everyone’s too busy avoiding failure to realize it’s the best thing that can happen to you. Falling flat on your face beats standing safely on the sidelines any day. Why? Because failure is proof you’re trying. It’s the hallmark of someone who’s pushing limits and chasing growth. The only thing worse than screwing up? Never stepping up in the first place.


I live for inspiring teams and entrepreneurs to Fail Big. Why? Because that’s where the magic happens. Innovation doesn’t live in comfort zones. It’s born when you break the rules, shatter expectations, and throw caution to the wind. You don’t crack open new possibilities by playing small—you do it by swinging for the fences, even if it means striking out.


What’s Your Excuse?

Let’s cut the BS. What’s holding you back?

  • Waiting for the stars to align? They couldn’t care less about your plans.

  • Hoping for a roadmap? Hate to break it to you, but life doesn’t come with GPS for greatness.

  • Playing it safe? Safe doesn’t build empires—it builds regret.


The universe isn’t here to spoon-feed you success. It’s here to see if you’ve got the guts to bet on yourself and your team.


Innovation = Messy, Reckless Action

Forget perfect plans—they’re a myth. Innovation is messy. It’s ugly. It’s learning as you go, screwing up, and getting better because of it. It’s listening to your customers, adapting on the fly, and running headfirst into the chaos.

The only thing more tragic than failing is waiting. Waiting for “the right moment” is just a fancy way of saying you’re scared. Spoiler alert: there’s no right moment. It’s now or never.


Fail Big or Stay Small: THE PROCESS

You want to win? You’ve got to get dirty. Here’s the playbook for kicking fear in the teeth:


STEP 1: SET THE INTENTION

Decide. Not “maybe.” Not “someday.” Get crystal clear on what you want and OWN it. Half-assed intentions get half-assed results.


STEP 2: STRENGTHEN YOUR BELIEF

Fear? Kill it. Doubt? Bury it. Your belief in yourself has to be bulletproof because the world will test you. Don’t flinch.


STEP 3: LEAP INTO ACTION

No overthinking. No waiting for permission. Jump. Go big. Go bold. You’re not here to tiptoe—you’re here to stomp.


STEP 4: EMBRACE THE TEACHINGS

Failure isn’t fatal; it’s a damn teacher. Pain is tuition for growth. Take the hits, learn the lessons, and keep swinging.


STEP 5: MODIFY YOUR ACTIONS

Be adaptable. Shift gears. Reinvent. Resilience isn’t weakness—it’s your power move.


STEP 6: FAIL AGAIN. FAIL BETTER.

You’re going to screw up. Again and again. But every failure gets you closer, sharper, and stronger.


STEP 7: OBSERVE THE OUTCOMES

Step back. Analyze the wreckage. What worked? What bombed? Adjust, reload, and charge back in harder.


This isn’t for the faint-hearted. It’s not comfortable. It’s not safe. But it’s how you crush limits, rewrite the rules, and build a legacy. Ready to play big?
