Ship in Six

Lesson #8 - Flipping the bit from Fail to Win

Did you watch the video lesson from last time?

If not, now is the time to do it!

Because (as you'll learn when you watch the lesson), failure isn't Failure™. Failure is not just one big thing. It's an emergent pile of tiny little things. Tiny little fails. Caused, mostly, by automatic habits for failure.

Habits like… skipping lessons. "I'll watch that later."

Now I'm not hammering away at this to make you feel bad. Just to help you see.

If you've got a bag full of fail, well, it's not destiny. It's just habit.

And while habits are automatic — you can de-chunk them, make them conscious and deliberate. You can reprogram them. And yourself.

You can flip your habits from fail to win.

How? Here's how:


^^ This 17 minute video lesson (a sequel to the last one!) will walk you through the research and the practice and the challenge.

Take the time. Click the picture. Watch the video.

Do the challenge.

Because the secret to success isn't a bolt of inspiration, or an unbroken streak of time spent In The Zone. You won't find the secret in a hackathon or sprint or a death march… or even a lot of paid time off.

The secret is to fail less. And win more. Just a little bit, every single day.

And that's something you can definitely Ship in Six.

(And the next email — Challenge #8 — will help you do it!)

Cheers,

Amy

NB: This lesson is from 30x500, the epic product-and-biz-building class I teach with Alex Hillman. So I mention the class a few times. But you don't need to attend or even know about the class to use this lesson.
