It seems I can only muster the time to try to capture our quote of the week.

Good thing that I can squeeze in some life stories into these posts too!

At the beginning of the year we headed up north to one of our favourite areas, Collingwood, to hang out with some friends, Chris and Sheila. They have a gorgeous new place up there (it’s our long term goal to get a big place up there too).

We got some skiing in, although I was a nervous Nellie as my neck and back were slowly healing from my car accident and I was worried about re-injuring them. I also hadn’t skied in 2 years, so….

Rob did a couple of runs with me but then went off to do some more serious skiing with the guys.

Of course the only pic I got:

Rob also did a little bit of competitive axe throwing….

I took one video and got him hitting bullseye! Chris got an “almost bullseye” right after so that was the talk all night! Lol.

But the other talk of the night was about all the usual stuff: life, kids, health, business and failure. Because failure goes with everything.

Chris is a guy who has built a very successful business and was talking about the need to “fail fast” in business. He then said, more importantly, you need to “Fail forward“.

I loved that.

Failure is inevitable, so you better get used to it.

But if you are going to fail – learn from it. Keep going. Pick yourself up and march forward. Don’t lament, or feel sorry, or go backwards. Just keep going. And fast.

Failure is not such a bad thing then, it’s just another something that propels you forward.
