Day 6 – When You Fall, Get Back Up

Every millionaire journey has moments of falling: missed goals, low-energy days, launches that flop, clients that say no. The difference between those who succeed and those who quit isn’t talent or luck — it’s the ability to get back up quickly.

Falling isn’t the end. It’s feedback. It shows you what needs adjusting, what needs strengthening, and what you’re capable of learning.

Step 1: Recognize the Fall

Write down one moment (recent or past) where you stumbled — didn’t follow through, felt embarrassed, or doubted yourself.

Instead of labeling it as failure, rewrite it as data:

  • What actually happened?
  • What did it teach me?

Step 2: Reframe the Story

Ask: “If this fall was preparing me for my million-dollar future, what lesson is hidden inside it?”
Examples:

  • A failed launch teaches you about timing and messaging.
  • A no from a client teaches you to refine your pitch.
  • A day of procrastination teaches you where your energy leaks.


Step 3: Choose the Bounce

Write a one-sentence commitment:

  • “Even when I fall, I rise.”
  • “Every setback makes me sharper.”
  • “Falling is proof I’m moving forward.”

Say it out loud three times.

Step 4: Anchor With Action

Do one thing today that proves you’re back on track:

  • Revisit a task you avoided yesterday and finish it.
  • Reach out to one person you’ve been putting off.
  • Reopen a project or idea you shelved after a setback.

End of Day 6 Outcome

  • A written reframing of a fall into feedback.
  • A personal mantra for resilience.
  • One action taken that proves you can bounce back.

If a block shows up (“I always fail,” “What’s the point?”), remember: Falling is not the opposite of success. Quitting is.

How To Clear Day 6 Blocks

When you fall short, it’s easy for blocks to surface in the form of harsh self-talk or the urge to quit. Common thoughts are:

  • “I always fail.”
  • “What’s the point of trying again?”
  • “Other people have what it takes, but I don’t.”

These aren’t facts — they’re old stories. Here’s how to clear them.

Step 1: Name the Block (1 minute)

Write one sentence that captures the story you’re telling yourself:

  • “The block I feel is believing I always fail.”
  • “The block I feel is thinking my efforts don’t matter.”

Step 2: Reframe the Block (1 minute)

Say this aloud:
“Falling is not failure. It’s feedback. The only real failure is quitting.”

Step 3: Release the Block (2 minutes)

Choose one of these clearing practices:

  • Forgiveness Reset: Write on paper: “I forgive myself for stumbling. I am allowed to learn.” Rip it up or burn it safely.
  • Embodiment Reset: Stand up, take one deep breath, shake your body for 20 seconds, and say: “I am back in motion.”
  • Anchor Reset: Hand on heart, say: “Even when I fall, I rise stronger.”

Step 4: Return to Action (immediately)

Pick one small task from your list — the thing you’ve been avoiding — and complete it now.

Result: Instead of spiraling in self-criticism, you release the weight, reclaim momentum, and prove to yourself you are resilient.
