This week in our Money Mastermind, we studied Chapter 6 of The Psychology of Money: Tails, You Win.

And what we realized is this: you don’t have to be right all the time to build wealth. You just need a few big wins that make up for all the losses.

On the call, we laughed about how discouraging it can feel to “fail” over and over. But the truth is, those failures don’t matter nearly as much as we think. One idea, one opportunity, one yes at the right moment can outweigh dozens of setbacks.

✨ 3 Powerful Takeaways from This Week’s Conversation

1️⃣ Failure is part of the process.

We said it straight: “You can fail a hundred times, and it still only takes one win to change your life.” Every setback is just part of the path toward the win that matters.

2️⃣ Rare events change everything.

We reflected on how Jeff Bezos, Warren Buffett, and even Disney weren’t built on constant small successes — they were built on a handful of “tail events” that tipped the scales. That’s what compounding plus persistence produces.

3️⃣ Alignment matters more than speed.

Someone said, “We’re not racing. We’re aligning.” It’s not about pushing harder, it’s about staying consistent, connected, and patient enough to let the right opportunities show up.

🔑 3 Specific Action Steps

✨ Step 1: Redefine failure.

When something doesn’t work, don’t label it the end. See it as one of the many steps leading to your eventual win.

✨ Step 2: Pay attention to your “tail events.”

Look for the moments, decisions, and opportunities that feel like pivots. Give them weight. Track them. Build around them.

✨ Step 3: Practice emotional intelligence.

Slow down, breathe, and make decisions from alignment. Emotional steadiness is what keeps you in the game long enough to hit the wins that count.

💖 Personal Note from Amber Breanna

What struck me most about this chapter is how much pressure we put on ourselves to always “get it right.” But the truth is, God doesn’t ask us to be perfect — He asks us to stay faithful.

The wins are rare, but they’re powerful. And when we stay consistent, aligned, and humble, those tail events find us.

👑 We are Powerful Creators. Let’s stop being afraid of failure and remember: it only takes one win to change everything.

With love & power,

Amber Breanna ❤️
