SPANX Founder Sara Blakely on Overcoming Fear of Failure in Business

- Sara Blakely, founder and CEO of SPANX, shares how failure has been a catalyst to her success - and how she uses it to learn, grow and see the upside in everything.
Sara is the founder of shapewear company SPANX (www.spanx.com), and in 2012 - at just 41 years old - she became the first female in the world to become a billionaire, on her own, without the help of an inheritance or spouse. At Business Mastery in Palm Beach, Sara shared the number-one influence on her success: her father, who taught her the value of failure. In fact, he expected it - and he expected her to learn from it. Sara shares, “My definition of failure became not about the outcome, but about not trying.”
Fear of failure in business is one of the biggest limiting beliefs that holds business owners and entrepreneurs back. Read how you can overcome this fear at www.tonyrobbins.com/stories/b... and watch this video for real-life examples of how Sara uses fear, instead of letting it use her. Her father would ask her: What positive came from it? The ability to find the lesson is one of the best ways to overcome fear of failure and see it as a catalyst for growth instead of the end of the world.
Sara says that fear of failure is really fear of embarrassment, fear of what other people think - and when you stop caring what other people think, you’ll experience true freedom to grow and learn. She even uses her embarrassing stories to connect with others, a hallmark of the authentic leadership style she’s known for.

Wow, that's such a great reframing of failure. Most people don't even try out the things they love because of fear of failure. But if you see failure as progress that's gonna change your entire life. Yes to failure and growth!!🙏
She is such an inspiration!
“It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”

You explained this really well! 😄
Thanks for the great points about the importance of not stopping!
I'll remember this for next time!
I think she’s the most humble and sweet successful entrepreneur I’ve ever seen in my entire life
Sarah Blakely is so genuine and so real and soo authentic. One of my top favorite entrepreneurial stories in history!

I'm currently at a state of hopelessness. I've failed in many things one after another. This is a great motivation for me ❤

“The true failure is to never try”
Failure is a gift of information, a key, to the goal that is still ahead.
mindset is the key to success
Wow! What a great perspective Sara has on everything discussed during this interview. There are so many valuable tidbits in this video. Tony- Thank you for the important work you do that betters people’s lives.
Sara- Congratulations on all of your success. You deserve every bit of it!
Failure is not the end. It’s just part of the process.
I've been living with fear for most of my life and it did hold me back in progressing both personally and professionally. Currently working to break down this fear and shift my mindset.
As a parent I completely agree with *the parenting strategy* that she's talking about, cuz I use a similar version with my own daughter to always ask,
*"what did you learn"*
when she gets hurt or when something happens to encourage her to think about what she learned from that experience. Though I'm not going to deny that it's such a *force of habit* with me in second nature to ask that question to my daughter that *I've even adopted it* to myself when something happens to me, 😅😅😅
Agreed. I love her master class. Tony has been a mentor for me since I was 13years old. I'm 36 now😁
How? 20 years ago there was no UA-cam and the internet barely had a browser. Did you meet him in person? Haha that is super lucky! Nice

Thank you for this video ! 🔥
"Your passion is for you, your purpose is for others"
I think that’s wrong. Your passion IS your purpose. You can’t be good at anything without passion.
So, in the end, your passion is for you and others.
Again, your purpose is your passion.
The most successful humans in all history have practiced what they loved. They followed their passion. Which was their purpose.
If you don’t follow your passion, you are in the wrong path... We have endless examples of this. Your best teacher has passion in teaching. Your worst teacher hates his job and wishes to do something else but is only teaching for salary. No passion = bad
Thanks for everything, there’s always mind blowing content on this channel, never disappoints.🔥👍🏼
each story has its important points, thanks for sharing
Brilliant! I love her approach!
Love the videos you put out Tony and how you connect with your audience/guest. Gave me the courage to take the next step in my life and start my own journey on UA-cam and help others as well with self improvement! Keep it up
Good stuff man!
Self improvement is the name of the game! Take action!
@@danielmarcos2485 Thanks!

When you don't know how it's going to be done, that means you're going to do it differently. - Sara Blakely
I think you are absolutely amazing.
It's never about me. It's about YOU! When I realized this, I understood that I will never fail, but I will loose YOU!
I hope I come back to 3:50-5:12 when I'm a parent one day
Loved her mindset on embarrassment
Stay motivated and never give up on your dreams! 🏆 I also started my UA-cam channel now I’m grinding to make it a success!!!
She is awesome!!!
Her husband “Jesse Itzler” has an awesome book out called “Living With A Seal” where David fucking Goggins came to live with him for a month and train him! I listened to it on Audible and it’s definitely a good read/listen! His wife is in it too!
Awesome Interview! I Hope you do one with Charlie Munger one day! Would be Fun to see you two chatting!
Where can I watch the full interview?
I think her vulnerability is just not being afraid or insecure.
I love this woman lol and cry. 😂😂😂
I disagree that fear of failure is about embarrassment for everyone. That is true if you are privileged to have savings or a supportive family to fall back on. But if failure means you cannot feed or shelter yourself or your family, it is a completely different barrier than embarrassment.
Misfortune happens to every one, its what you do about it that matters
My team and I adore Tony, but don't at all care for his cap.
You know, TR is such a captivating and wonderful coach, the cap is a distraction.....
So....you know...
Our love for him and inspiration grow with each day.

@@TonyRobbinsLive thank you ill try again 👊☘
I don't think spanx is something to be proud of, its all about women not accepting their bodies or trying to conform to what 'normal' or what 'healthy' looks like without putting in the hard work of going to the gym. Spanx is about conformity, not freedom. On the other hand, I would of course congratulate her on her business success.
More about con-firm-ity. Lol. I think of the garments as therapeutic pressure sleeves like those thunder vests for scared chihuahuas.
