Turning Failures into Valuable Life Lessons, with Celina Caesar-Chavannes.
Text Me, I'd LOVE to hear from YOU!
What do you do when things don’t work out the way you planned? More importantly, how do you learn from that mistake or that failure?
Because when you are able to pull yourself up, dust yourself off and keep going, taking that wisdom with you - that’s where the magic happens.
My guest on the podcast today is Celina Caesar-Chavannes, Entrepreneur, Author & Former elected official - and she has made some mistakes in her life. And she wrote the book to tell about it.
She wants you to know that you can have success after making a lot of mistakes.
And sometimes those mistakes CAN turn into your biggest lessons, but only if you let them.
In this episode of the Shine to FIVE Method with CJ we are talking all about:
- How to know if you have what it takes to succeed at entrepreneurship
- Learning to pause when you fail to find the lesson you need to learn and how that process can change everything
- How you can get the support you need to succeed as an entrepreneur
And never forget, that YOU as an ordinary person doing ordinary things have the power to change the world.
