Failing Forward

"Anything worth doing is worth doing poorly-until you learn to do it well." Steve Brown

John Maxwell wrote a great book on this subject. He explains that if you look at each time you fall down it is an opportunity to pick yourself up and be stronger for the experience.

"The not-talked-about, terrible truth is that all roads to achievement lead through the land of failure. Every person you admire has walked this road: the Wright brothers, Arnold Palmer, Mary Kay Ash, Truett Cathey, Erma Bombeck, Tony Gwynn, Amelia Earhart, Sergio Zyman, Hank Aaron, George Bernard Shaw and Mother Teresa have all experienced failure and learned how to turn it into a stepping stone for success. Leadership expert Peter Drucker says, "The better a man is, the more mistakes he will make, for the more new things he will try." Mistakes really do pave the road to achievement. Let John Maxwell teach you the 15 steps to turning mistakes into steppingstones for success!"

Reading John C. Maxwell's book Failing Forward will change your outlook forever.
