Description

Welcome to the Fail Forward podcast.   In this episode, I speak about remaining dedicated, no matter what.    Something that’s reflected in fitness as it is in business is that it can take time to see improvements.   When you’re working hard in the gym and eating well, you expect to see that reflected in the mirror after a few months.    But that doesn’t always happen. In fact, it rarely does.   All these things take time. Real change is made from the cumulative effect of lots of little actions, showing up on the days you don’t want to and staying dedicated.    You might’ve heard me talk about the one percent gain in the past. A perfect example of that was when Dave Brailsford took over the Sky British Cycling team.    From the bike design to the wider team’s approach, Dave assessed every element of the process and looked to improve it by one percent. After just 21 days, the team won the Tour de France.   All you need to do is turn up and try to improve by one percent every day. That small change will make a big difference.    When I first started this podcast, we struggled to get many downloads and it often felt demoralising.   We kept going for 18 months and now we’re getting hundreds of downloads each episode, hopefully making a difference to others by sharing my approach to life. If I’d given up after a few months because my ego was telling me I wasn’t good enough, the podcast wouldn’t be where it is today.   My message to you in this episode is don’t give up, show up every day and fail forward.  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.
