Leverage: A Key Factor for Achieving the Incredible

Leverage is simply the ability to capitalize on anything, situation or event to your advantage. The fact about life is that anything – the good, the bad, the ugly – can be used as a lever to achieve the incredible.

I have come to realize that even failure – something that some people see as a misfortune – can be be leveraged upon to accomplish outstanding success.

The impact of India in the field of Space Exploration lends credence to the fact that failure can be leveraged upon. India is the first country to make FIRST ATTEMPT into Space and succeed. The secret of India’s incredible success is not far-fetched. They leveraged the failures of pioneer countries like USA, Russia, Japan, China, etc.

How to Leverage Failures to Achieve Incredible Success

How did India leverage the failures of pioneer space exploring countries to achieve success at first attempt?  And how can you apply it to achieve outstanding success in your own chosen endeavour?

Below are three steps for leveraging failures to achieve incredible success:

1.   Learn from Failures

Failure can be a great leverage (asset) if you know how to leverage it for your good. More often than not, great success will not come until you learn from your failures and the failures of others.

One importance of failure is that it teaches us how not to go about achieving a particular goal. It shows us ways that will not lead us to where we want to go. It directs us to take a detour rather than a dead end.

For a long time, the likes of USA, Russia, Japan and China kept laboring to find ways of getting into Space. In the process, they adopted “trial and error” method. They failed a lot. They lost human and material resources, kept trying and failing until they discover ways of getting into Space.

When India wanted to explore the Space, they did not jump out to adopt a trial and error method the way USA, Russia, Japan and China did. They know that doing so would take them a long time to achieve their goal. Rather, they sought a faster way of getting into Space. They discovered that the fastest way of getting into Space at first attempt was to learn from the failures of pioneer countries that had gone there before them.

India studied everything the pioneer countries did that did not work. And these studies became an aggregation of signposts that warned them never to take those paths.

How faster our journey to success will be if we spend quality time learning from our failures and failures of others. Let failures become subjects of research to you. If you have been failing, take your time to study those things you did that didn’t work. Look at the lives of those who have gone ahead of you and who had failed previously. What were those things they did that didn’t work? If you can spend quality time studying what did not work, you stand a chance of fast-tracking your jouney to success.

2.   Avoid What Will Not Work

The world’s number one motivator, Ziz Ziglar, once said: “Failure is not a dead end but a detour.” I think what this implies is that failure helps us to avoid what will not work.

One of the causes of failures of many is that they kept doing what they had been doing that didn’t work, hoping that it would take them to where they want to go.

Someone once defined “Madness” as doing something consistently and hoping to achieve different result. The benefit of failure is that it teaches us what will not work and helps us to avoid them. When you learn that some methods do not work, you don’t have to keep doing them. Avoid them. By avoiding what will not work, you fasttrack your way to success.

3.   Try Other Ways

When you avoid what will not work, don’t remain stagnant. Look for other ways that might work. Adopt a liberal approach, if you want to leverage failure to achieve incredible success. Adopting a liberal approach implies welcoming new ideas, being creative and seizing every opportunity that comes your way.

Like India, as you learn from your failures and failures of others, as you avoid what will not work and try other ways, you will not only fasttrack your way to success, you will also break records that are yet to be broken.

Until I come your way soon, go and live victoriously!
