What's Your Focus?

I work with dozens of organizations and hundreds to thousands of business professionals every year. Over time, I’ve noticed some important differences in the focus of many of these people and organizations. Some (too many) focus on avoiding failure, some focus on achieving success.

Aren’t they the same? They actually can’t be more different. We frame our view of the world in very different ways, pose questions in different ways. develop very different strategies, take different risks.

I think this point is very true: "Sometimes your focus on avoiding failure blinds you to what success looks like."

...But it may not necessarily be wrong. It really depends on the personality of the business owner and the business. For some people (and businesses), the success itself may come just from looking back and learning from mistakes to avoid future ones. This is especially true of people who are more cautious in nature or in industries that are extremely volatile.
