That way no matter what happens you win. I know personally I tend to learn the lessons better from my failures than from my successes. But on the whole I prefer <b>not</b> failing, given the choice! ;) Or you might even give yourself permission to fail as long as it comes with the caveat of getting back up regardless.

Franklin asked the same question and she replied, "then don't". He: "don't try?". She: "don't fail". Carolyn Thanks, Joe and Chris,

That's <i>exactly</i> the sort of thing I was getting at. The post example was from a sales situation, but there are tons of other ways we can build success traps for ourselves in other situations. One of the best ways is to build in accountability around us. What you are doing is creating accountability for your goals by making your intentions for future posts public. That accountability really gives you a strong incentive to actually write the posts and provides you with a success trap to "force" you to do something that will make you more successful. Great example! Thanks for sharing it with us. Hey, Joe! That’s exactly the sort of thing I was getting at.

I just recently started listing future posts on my blog. If I do it in public, I am forced to comply. I always try to keep a promise, and to me that is making a promise to my readers. It worked this week so far, hopefully, I can keep it going to make myself more a more successful blogger. ;-) Joe Hey Chris,

Nothing to do with sales, but a way to force myself to plan ahead.

I just recently started listing future posts on my blog. If I do it in public, I am forced to comply.

I always try to keep a promise, and to me that is making a promise to my readers.

It worked this week so far, hopefully, I can keep it going to make myself more a more successful blogger. ;-)
