7 Questions You Must Ask After a Failure
Failing sucks. You can’t help but to ruminate over the why and the why me. However, unless you turn those two questions into action by focusing on what you control instead of what you don’t control, ruminating is a waste of time.
The best way to do this is to start with the 7 questions that facilitate action using the strategic mindset.
- What can I do next to help myself improve?
- Next time is there a way to do what I did even better?
- Can I approach the things I control with more mental flexibility?
- What can I do to help myself master the things that caused me to fail?
- How can I be more effective in my preparation?
- How can I keep track of how effective my approach is going forward?
- What can I do differently starting right now that will help me in the future?
