When you hear this mantra failure is not an option but, and here is the but, don't make it an expectation either. Like I've said in the past it it's so normal for us to expect negativity, to expect things to go wrong. If nothing ever happened you can't possibly be doing something important, something high level or something that pushes your team forward or your company forward. It just doesn't make any sense so yeah you should expect problems but when you say failure is not an option don't make it an expectation either because that's exactly where your mindset is going to go all the time. Like I've said over and over and over you get what you're looking for so when you are looking for failure, when you are looking for negativity, you are absolutely going to find it and when you have a steady diet of that, no way you or your team can advance.
