Step 1: Find game with better soundtrack
Step 2: Come to terms with your failure

Additional Information:

There is one thing I know for sure: each of us will fail, at something, at some point. The question is: what will we do about it?

All successful people I know attribute part of their success to failure. Though it’s usually painful, we learn from failure. I know that my own failures, and there have been many, have planted the seeds for future success and constant humility I carry with me like a small talisman.

Failure forces you to become resilient. We’ve all heard of denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance; they are the steps one follows to get through grief. I came to realize that one could have a plan of action for coming to terms with failure — a roadmap to help find your way out of despair and build resilience to make you stronger for certain other failures that await.

I began as an investment manager in the late 1980’s fresh out of Wharton. Having had consistent success since then, it is hard to believe that the heady days of early 1998 would set the stage for a stunning and swift near collapse of my firm and career.

Things couldn’t have been going better. My firm was coming off a hot streak of several years. We were growing and making good money for our clients, and therefore good money for ourselves. We had just negotiated the sale of half our business for an enormous sum, meaning I would have officially “made it” at 33 years old. That is until the summer of 1998.

A tornado hit the financial markets as Russia defaulted on their debt and the collapse of Long Term Capital Management seemed to bring Wall Street to its knees. (A crisis, when compared to the crisis of 2008, could best be described as adorable.)

Our funds quickly headed south and we weren’t well positioned to save them. We made many mistakes; some due to hubris, some due to poor judgment, some due to poor efforts keeping investors informed.

When the deal to sell half the firm was terminated by the buyer in the fall of 1998, our business was in shambles. Adding salt to the wound, the market rallied strongly in the end of ’98, making our relatively poor performance that much worse. My failure thoroughly in place, and my ego and self-esteem in tatters, I waited for the dust to settle. The stage was set. I could either be resilient or decide to be washed up at 33.

Opting to be courageous, I devised a step-by-step plan to find my way back after a really big moment of underachieving. I’ve found that deliberate planning helps me get to a place where I can have the objectivity to learn from a debacle.

And really, if you can’t learn anything from failing, what good is it anyway?

Here are my steps:

1. Allow yourself a very short, defined moment of wallowing in the failure. Maybe you give in and permit yourself one weekend of binge TV watching, laying on the couch and eating crap. Do not, however, let this step drag on.

2. Get back in the game, even if you have to play hurt. Fake that you’re ok. It’s completely acceptable to know you are faking your resilience at this point. You can’t expect immediate results, but you can act confidently knowing one-day things will be ok.

3. Recalibrate what’s important. Here’s a moment to reassess what your priorities are and revise how you’ve been spending your time, if necessary. If you’ve lost a really important promotion, a long sought after election, or an end to a relationship, you’re going to feel pain for a really long time. The bigger and more unique the failure, the harder it will be to imagine that you could ever feel better. Very often a big failure leaves you with more time on your hands than you thought you would have. Finding solace in a new interest or self-improvement you’ve always meant to try should be high on your priority list.

4. Re-visit. This is an important step that is both immediate and serves the long term. On the heels of your great catastrophe, write yourself a letter and be sure to include everything you’re thinking; every pain, every embarrassment, every feeling of loss or shame. Put the letter away. Take it out six months later and evaluate how much these intense feelings of hurt have subsided. Time heals wounds, fades lines in the sand, and opens never-before considered perspectives.

5. Change up your routine to help you find a new normal. However, keep some semblance of order. Make your bed everyday…literally.

These steps have helped me more than once. I’m lending them to you because fortunately for the moment I’m not using them (though I’m sure I will again).

The goal, forever and always, is to be in a position to learn from failure, for that is its gift. It will lead you to future successes and ultimately help shed the fear that failure often brings.
