Learning From Failures
- Vinnie and Anna discuss the topic of failure.
(3:00)
- He mentions measuring things by your FQ, the “Failure Quotient".
- This has nothing to do with how smart you are; it has everything to do with brushing yourself off and getting back up.
- If you find poor excuses, you need to take a better look at yourself. (8:00)
- You have a brain, you make choices.
- Vinnie is considering doing small group Zoom consults; he’ll
figure out the details and give more information down the road.
(11:00)

- Vinnie reminds listeners that it’s not as important that you
screw up, you must get back up. (15:00)

deal for her business. (23:00)
- She talks about how she has changed over the years and how she handled it now compared to what she would have done before.
