Why You Should Learn To Fail Faster in 2025
Are you ready to take massive action on your dreams in 2025? I’m fired up for this first episode of 2025! This year is all about giving you a fast track to profit, but maybe not in the way you’re thinking. Because today, I’m telling you, you need to fail faster to make your success inevitable.
I know what you’re thinking: “Fail? Amanda, are you crazy?”
Yep, you heard that right. And I know, I know, “fail” is like the dirtiest F-word in the coaching world, but stick with me, because I’m about to flip the script on that whole concept.
My Self-Imposed Challenge to Fail Faster
I decided to host a webinar every single week, and it completely transformed my results. By testing and adjusting my webinar content and strategy on a weekly basis, I was able to quickly identify what was working and what wasn’t. This allowed me to fail faster and find the winning formula much more quickly than if I had only done webinars a few times per year. In fact, this “fail faster” approach almost tripled my revenue in 2024. It also helped me reframe how I view failure, which is a mindset shift I’m excited to share with you at the live event.
Failing My Way to a Tripled Revenue
And guess what? That “fail fast” approach nearly tripled our revenue! But more than that, it totally reframed how I see failure. Now, I don’t even like using that word, because honestly, it just doesn’t feel accurate anymore. Each “failure” is just data, an opportunity to learn and pivot. You see, I used to have a negative perception of failure, just like a lot of coaches do. When something didn’t go as planned, I would get stuck in my emotions and let it paralyze me. But I’ve since learned to neutralize that dreaded “F word” and see failure as an incredible opportunity for growth and improvement. In fact, I now believe that failure is the surest path to success.
Your Four-Step Fail-Fast Framework
So, how can you start failing faster and unlocking your inevitable success? Here’s the four-step framework I want you to embrace:
- Acknowledge It, Coaches: Don’t sweep things under the rug. If your launch flopped, own it. If nobody showed up to your webinar, say it out loud. This is about being honest with yourself so you can actually learn from the experience. This one used to be my Achilles heel with my husband. I’d dance around it…no more!
- Get Curious, Not Crushed: Instead of throwing a pity party, ask “Why?” Why did people sign up but not show up? Why didn’t that social media post get any engagement? Become a detective in your own business. Curiosity is where the good stuff lives.
- Find the Freaking Lesson: There’s always a golden nugget of wisdom hidden in every “failure.” Maybe your email sequence needs work. Maybe your offer isn’t clear. Maybe you need to show up differently on your coaching calls. Find the lesson and use it!
- Regulate That Energy: This is the game-changer. Your ability to manage your emotions is everything. Don’t let a setback derail you. Take a walk, blast some Lizzo, do whatever you need to do to get back into that high-vibe energy. Show up as the best version of yourself, even when things are messy.
The Fastest Way to Get Better
The fastest way to get better at something is to do it.
Want to be a better coach? Coach more people.
Want to improve your social media presence? Post more often.
Want to become a master at hosting workshops? Host more workshops.
The more you practice, the more you’ll learn, and the faster you’ll improve.
Failure Fuels Success
Failing faster doesn’t mean you’ll never succeed. In fact, it’s the opposite. The more you fail, the more you learn, and the closer you get to your goals.
So, embrace failure this year. Don’t be afraid to take risks, make mistakes, and learn from them. It’s the key to unlocking your full potential and achieving your wildest dreams.
