They had been on a winning run for the last 4 games.

Then today they had a 0-3 loss.

They weren’t happy.

Taking inspiration from Nelson Mandela’s quote, I said to them, “????????????’???????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????????????????.”

Then, I asked each one of them, “???????????????? ???????????? ???????????? ???????????????????? ?????????????????????”

I think it shifted their perspective.

Losing happens in sports and business.

I have always learned more from things that didn’t work.

The key, I find, is to be curious as to why. Where did I miss the mark? What can I do to be better next time?

Also, a key is to not be afraid to lose. If you’re afraid, you’ll never try in the first place.

In our business, we are always testing new approaches for our clients. Some work, some don’t.

If it doesn’t work, we just ask ourselves, “???????????????? ???????????? ???????? ???????????????????? ???????????????? ?????????????????”

Business has often felt like two steps forward and one back, but we are moving forward, and always on the pitch playing the game.

How do you deal with a loss or a ‘test’ that doesn’t work?
