Episode 21 - Why Trying Increases Both Success & Failure

Ever wondered why trying harder seems to increase your chances of both success and failure? In this video, we dive deep into the tug of war between success and failure — a battle everyone faces but few truly understand.

Drawing on Victor Vroom’s Expectancy Theory of Motivation, we explore how your efforts, desires, and mindset combine to either push you forward or hold you back. Learn why putting in effort doesn’t just raise the possibility of failure — it massively boosts your probability of success. Discover how expectancy, instrumentality, and valence shape your drive, and why strong desire (valence) can overcome fear of failure.

This episode will help you:

✅ Understand the real relationship between trying, failing, and succeeding.

✅ Recognize why failure isn’t something to fear, but a sign you’re on the path to growth.

✅ Find the motivation to chase what you truly want, without hesitation.
