WEEK 13

Day 85: On Experimenting to See What Happens

It  often  feels  like  everything  is  so  serious  —  that  if  you  make  one

mistake, it will all end in disaster. But really everything you do is just a test:

an experiment to “see what happens”.

—Derek Sivers

 

80

I learned how to feel good in spite of failure when I adopted the “let’s

see what happens” mentality. Now, whenever I want to try something new

that has an uncertain chance of success, I tell myself it’s an experiment. I

assume  that  whatever  I  invest  in  it,  I  invest  it  to  gather  data,  and  not

necessarily to get a return.

For example, I started investing in video courses for my business. In

the end, it was a spectacular failure, but I wasn’t particularly worried about

it  because  my  experiment  was  still  a  success:  it  proved  that  my  business

idea wasn’t a good one. I also learned a lot working on this goal, and that

alone was worth it. I’m not sure if I would have taken action if I had told

myself that this endeavor absolutely must deliver a positive return.

You can apply the same mentality to every other goal. For example, if

you’re afraid that you’ll fail to develop a habit of getting up early, consider

it a 30-day experiment to see how waking up early will make you feel and

whether  you’ll  be  more  productive.  When  you  think  of  it  this  way,  you

ensure  from  the  get-go  that  no  matter  how  your  experiment  goes,  it’s  a

success. After all, you aren’t trying to make a permanent change: you only

want to test a hypothesis.

Usually,  if  the  experiment  goes  well,  it  leads  to  a  permanent  change

anyway,  and  that’s  the  purpose  of  adopting  this  different  mindset:  you’re

breaking  through  the  initial  resistance  by  lowering  your  expectations,  and

you consequently eliminate the fear of failure.
