Description

Looking back on when things have gone wrong can be painful, embarrassing or any other uncomfortable emotion. As a result, it’s often easier not to and instead focus on what’s next.   In this episode of Fail Forward, I reflect on how it felt to listen back to episode 1 when I was interviewed by Amy Rowlinson and consider the importance of taking time to reflect and learn throughout our lifetime.   You’ll frequently hear me say, “Failure isn’t a negative if you learn from it” - something I passionately believe.   To live the life you want to live, you need to push boundaries, develop and evolve. And that means learning from everything you do - good, bad and indifferent.   Perfection is just a perception.   As Rob Moore says, “Every master was once a disaster”. In striving for perfection and beating ourselves up when we don’t achieve it.   By drawing from my own real-life experiences, courses I’ve attended, and books I’ve read, my aim, through Fail Forward, is to give you hope and inspire you to stop fearing failure.   If you like what you hear in the Fail Forward podcasts, You can follow me on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/

Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it Fail Forward is the weekly podcast hosted by entrepreneur and family man Henri Ghijben. In each episode you’ll hear from Henri and guests as they share real-life experiences of positives born from failure, reflections on the lessons learned from ‘losing it all, and what fuels Henri’s desire to help others overcome personal and business challenges in order to create the lives they want to live. Who is Henri Ghijben? Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri’s first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn’t until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth. Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it. Against the odds, Henri has rebuilt from rock bottom. He’s now on a mission to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did, to help those facing failure see that there is a way back and that by failing forward they can enjoy success again. Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
