I was scrolling down my social media posts and found my favourite post of 2022:

Social media is just a highlight reel. It’s not the whole story.

And I’m guilty of this too, so let me fix that. Here are my 6 biggest failures in 2022.

👉 Didn’t travel abroad from January to November in 2022.

✅ Continuing to make progress with my work/life balance. Typing this from Thailand.

👉 A course launched this year received 40% lower than forecasted revenue.

✅ Learned. Pivoted.

👉 Received an unexpectedly large tax bill so had to scramble to liquidate cash to pay it.

✅ Rookie error. Bigger cash reserves and improved forecasting.

👉 Messed my back up for 2 months which threw off my gym routine and healthy eating.

✅ Now have a standing desk in my office! And stretch for 10 minutes before every workout.

👉 Lost I’ve no idea how much in stocks and shares and crypto.

✅ Still continuing to buy and hold. Dollar-cost averaging all the way.

👉 Three of our biggest revenue streams fell by more than 50% in June.

✅ Restructured and streamlined the company resulting in record profits from Oct-Dec.

If we’re not failing, we’re not trying hard enough.

Here’s to more failures in 2023 🍻

PS: I’m currently giving away a mini-course on how I got straight A’s at university.
