Don’t Fear Failure, Fear Regret

Frustration that we all have at times but no regrets. I moment of living is a learning experience especially knowing, Bedros, Craig, Steve, and Chris

That is awesome! Helps keep things in perspective. Thanks bedros.

Hell yeah,

This is my world and nobody belongs here more than me!

Freakin sweet post B. Definitely something that needs to be thought about when you are sitting on your butt scared to do the stuff that makes great things happen.

Bedros awesome post-

Amazing Bedros… I’m just sitting in my chair on Sunday morning reading your post and listening to my favorite choon. “Meet me half way” by the Black eyed peas.

A mixture of the both has just kick started my ass into gear and get on with something I’ve been putting off.

Keep up the brillaint work,

-Rob

Outstanding POST!! Opening up my second gym on Jan 5th 2010. Not because of FAILURE!! And I certainly didn’t want to regret it! I took the chance and did it. Thanks for the post!! Big Rod

I would be a millionairre now. I do regret fukn my credit all up and not going to college and just living a normal live. But I got skills that know I have ever met has and they are from me working in so many places I hate that I refuse to work for anyone and from just my GOD given talent of sales. I am the best P.T. sales man I have ever met. I $175k in one month! Thats a number and I keep selling at a high volume. SICK! I need credit to get my own studio or I would wipe out the competition. Looking for investors.

Bedros,

I too would have hosed at that comment on radio.. great stuff

I gotta tell ya I took Regret to School… and what I mean by that is before coming over here to the Northern Hemisphere I remember bein scared… I had ZERO certainty anything was going to workout but I knew that it was a MUST… that if I didn’t do it.. I would always wonder why? Regret was something I was not going to accept or live with.

Make conscious choices and decisions NOW (even if they do seem a little crazy) so you leave absolutely no room for regret. AND… even better - take the damn word out of your vocabulary and you will not experience it. More on this later

Thanks B

Cheers

Thanks for the reminder to step out of the comfort zone. A little fear is a good thing, but you’re right-regret is out of the question. Jump in!

Great Post Bedros! I Love it when you do these types of posts on Sunday to help me start off my week with a Success Mindset! The more I immerse myself into the most important things in my business and the more I read about the most successful people in the world this always comes up! You have to have the Mindset for Success and having No Regrets is definitely part of that. I’m right in the middle of “Feel the Fear…and Do it Anyway” By Susan Jeffers and she talks about how making any major decision you have to view it as “No-Lose” because either way you will be growing when you make decisions and you become more powerful and confident with each one you make!

Thanks Bedros!

Awesome Bedros!

Years ago my family and friends all told not to give up my job for a career in personal training, they all said that i would struggle to make it work…. now 5 years later, im a fully booked personal trainer with 2 studio’s and 7 guys working for me and next year i will be opening 3 more studio’s in other cities in the UK. Well certainly no regrets there, but there would of been if i’d listened to my friends and family 5 years ago!

If you want something then go for it! How’s the saying go… “Always do what you’ve always done and you’ll always get what you’ve always got”

Thanks Bedros, I needed that. I’m going through Tony’s Personal Power right now, and I’m constantly trying to get myself motivated to DO, and to ACT, and one of the things I use to reinforce the right mindset or state is constantly reading your blog and Steve’s.

Thank you both so much. You’re all inspirations that a ADD college drop out gym rat can get his act together and do something INCREDIBLE!!!

Thanks Again,
Dave

Knew that was Robbins as soon as soon as I heard rocking chair.

I also like to think of Mel Gibson in Braveheart when he was giving the speech in full battle gear. Good to YouTube that. Kinda modern day rocking chair!!!

Thanks Bedros!!!!!!

Here is the Braveheart link.

also. If I would have picked better parents I would be 6’2. 245 at 5%. !!!! Damn it!!!! REGRET!!!

Man I failed Big Time about 5 years ago. Where where you then Bedros?!?!

It was the Best Learning I could have wanted. I did the exact opposite of Bedroism. Bedroism = bedros philosophy….,,

Really really powerful post

I too will be laughing at my past failures, not regrets.

My rocking chair is going to be reeeeally nice btw

Hey Man, thanks for the words of wisdom. Thanks to you guys I’m stepping out of my comfort zone. When I’m old, I plan on being that crazy old guy rolling in my chair chasing pretty ladies.

Yay! I totally agree! I would hate regret! and I could never live with myself wondering “what if!” THanks for all the articles…youre making a difference in so many lives!!! ROck on!!!!

Bedros,keep sending it.These kinds of e-mails keep me (and I am sure many others) motivated to keep reaching for new heights,taking chances,having faith,and working it!!

Bedros, Love this one Man! Reminds me of the post-it on my computer screen it reads Coulda Woulda Shoulda! Keep rockin! Rebecca

No regrets here man. Live and learn. Gotta get out there and do it for yourself because Life doesn’t care about your problems,it’s gonna kick your ass if you don’t get off of it and make it happen.

Best post Bedros. I’m old enough now to have pletty of regrets, but that wouldn’t do any good. So instead of regret, learn and apply.

Loving the article, I had a career in music couple years ago and I completely lost interest and wanted to focus on my sports side with personal training. My distance family thought I was stupid to change career. But now I’m very busy personal trainer and prove them wrong.
