Failure gives us an uneasy feeling. But from the moment we are born, we are wired to take risks, fail, and try again. However, at some point, many of us become much less comfortable with the idea of failure. We lose sight of the valuable learning that grows out of all the trying – the exploration and the discovery. Patrick Combs, motivational speaker, best-selling author, and co-founder of Bliss Champions, considers failure as life’s greatest teacher.

A failure, along with motivation, success, and joy, are the main topics of this week’s episode of The Alchemy of Business Show. Patrick joins Steve Rodgers and discusses why failure should not be feared. They talk about motivation and why it will get you where you want to be with a bit of patience and lots of faith. There are gold nuggets present throughout the whole conversation, so whatever you do, do not miss out on this opportunity to learn and be inspired.
