I read this quote from Marshall Goldsmith, a highly respected executive coach that I normally agree with.
“You don’t need any experience to go out and try. All you need is a bit of courage.”
If simply “trying” is the goal, then this makes sense. If having some level of success is the goal, then this is terrible advice.
If you have the time, energy, and determination to continue trying and failing and learning until you achieve some level of mastery, then this makes sense.
Happy thoughts and well-wishing is called magical thinking and it will not bring you success.
Respectfully,
Paul
