How to have fun losing

Everybody enjoys winning: you set a goal you care about, work diligently and carefully, and achieve that goal. It's fun.

But how do you have fun when you lose?

The answer is: losing is a lot more fun if you know why you lost.

When you keep trying the same thing, you can't get it to work, and you don't even know why, that's frustrating.

But if you take time to measure, and observe, and reflect, you can learn to see where you went wrong.

And that's great. Because you can try again with a different approach.

Here's the thing:

If you’ve got goals you want to reach, for your members, or your team, or just for your own sense of pride in your work, you won't always get it right the first time.

But you can always learn and improve. That will get you closer to your goal. And that's a lot of fun.

All the best,
A.
