“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” — Wayne Gretzky
Translation: Leadership is about stepping onto the ice, even when the outcome isn’t guaranteed.
Playing it safe might keep you comfortable, but taking risks is where growth and greatness happen.
Don’t let fear of failure hold you back. Every shot you take—win or lose—is a step toward progress. The only real failure is not trying at all.
Reflection Moment: (actually take a moment a get curious about your truth)
What’s one area of your life where fear of failure is keeping you on the sidelines?
What’s the worst that could happen if you took the shot? What’s the best?
Action: Take one shot today — ask the question, try the workout, reach out to the person, or start the thing you’ve been avoiding.
