Description

Welcome to the Fail Forward podcast.   What left Stephen Bartlett feeling empty when he learned his company was worth millions? Why did Jonny Wilkinson plummet into depression after taking England to World Cup Victory? What has that got to do with you and your business?   The answer is, remembering the journey is as important as the destination!   In fact, the journey is arguably the most important and most fun part of achieving your goals. Because once you achieve them - what’s next?   Yet, when you’re faced with cash flow problems, struggling to win new business, losing great members of your team, or any of the other headaches that are part and parcel of running a business, seeing the greatness in everyday life can be hard.   In this episode I explore the benefit of gratitude.    Maybe you’re thinking (as I used to) that gratitude is an “airy fairy concept” that can’t have a significant impact on your life.    I’m here to tell you why that’s not the case. And why taking time every day to practice gratitude (aka count your blessings as our grannies used to tell us) is actually an incredibly powerful tool that will help you stay motivated even on the toughest of days.   As a business owner you are often future focused. Always ticking off your never-ending action list and moving on to the next thing. Until problems pile up and you wonder “What’s the point?”   Listen now and consider how stopping to notice and appreciate the good stuff is the gold that will ensure you don’t hit your biggest goals, only to be left feeling cold!   If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook 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.
