About this lesson
Kids do not fear failure. They fear failure without a story: the silent car ride that makes a flop feel unspeakable. Failure is tuition. Sit in the disappointment the first night, then collect what you paid for the next day.
What you’ll learn
- Feel the flop first. Count the lesson the next day.
- Ask what we learned, what surprised us, and what we would try next.
- Price the worst case before you swing.
- A clean failure story beats a spotless record.
