Description

Welcome to the Fail Forward podcast. “Some of the most amazing things are in the places we least expect.”   We all have experiences that we wouldn’t try. It could be due to preconcieved ideas, either from yourself or from others, or simply that you’ve decided it doesn’t fit with your values.   I used to have negative preconceptions about people exercising on holiday.   “Who on earth would exercise in the limited time they have to have to relax?” I would think.  Well, on my latest holiday, I tried it. Running every day and paddleboarding gave me so much more energy to enjoy the rest of my day - it could be one for you to try too.   I also recently attended a retreat with an amazing guy called John Beesom, who calls himself the CEO adventurer.    He explained that he’s recently set himself the goal of leaning into experiences he would usually disregard.   John is currently trying yoga and meditation despite his first thoughts being that he wouldn't be suited to the experience. He’s yet to tell me how he got on. But worst case? He will have learnt something new from it.    Do you have anything you’re against giving a go? Why not approach it with a mindset of giving it a try?   In this episode, I share: > Tapping into which experiences you tend to avoid > What new experiences can bring you > How to lean into new experiences   Have a listen. I’d love to hear if the points covered resonate with you, let me know if you do decide to try something new!   If you’re enjoying the Fail Forward podcasts, follow me on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok or LinkedIn for all the latest on my mission to help business owners Fail Forward.    Facebook https://www.facebook.com/failforwardhenri LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/henri-ghijben-539132101/ TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@failforward12 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/henrighijben/

Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it Fail Forward is the weekly podcast hosted by entrepreneur and family man Henri Ghijben. In each episode you’ll hear from Henri and guests as they share real-life experiences of positives born from failure, reflections on the lessons learned from ‘losing it all, and what fuels Henri’s desire to help others overcome personal and business challenges in order to create the lives they want to live. Who is Henri Ghijben? Growing up in Bury St Edmunds, Henri’s first memorable experience of failure left him with the lasting ability to never get lost. It proved to be the first of many times Henri would fail forward. But it wasn’t until he faced losing his home, business and possibly even his family, that he realised the truth. Failure is only negative if you don’t learn from it. Against the odds, Henri has rebuilt from rock bottom. He’s now on a mission to help others avoid making the same mistakes he did, to help those facing failure see that there is a way back and that by failing forward they can enjoy success again. Ever thankful for the love and support of his family, the loyalty of his team and the help of business owners who helped him when the chips were down, Henri now lives in Southampton where he runs HRG Tree Surgeons, has growing property management and investment businesses and runs mentoring programmes for business owners, entrepreneurs and directors who are on their own growth journeys.
