Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780999406700)

Of those striving for success, one in a million will do so without experiencing failure. This book is written for the 999,999 others who will experience failure along the way. Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success offers an effective way to overcome ANY failure and thereby achieve success. The KEY is to picture failure in a different way. It is seeing failure as the acronym F.A.I.L.U.R.E. -- Fruitful And Informative Lesson Urging Renewed Effort. When seen as such, you are able to give it a new, empowering meaning, allowing you to dust yourself off and try again until you succeed.

Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success shows how failure is truly an opportunity and not the final nail in your coffin of hope. In this new perspective, the analysis of what constitutes success aligns perfectly with Earl Nightingale's proposition that success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Using this truer, more worthwhile meaning for failure allows you to pursue success to its limits.

The author acknowledges that there is nothing new to creating success: a worthy ideal, vision, plans, hard work, building an effective team, persistence and character are certainly still required, and Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success is explicit about these. But, like the golfer who changes his grip before winning a dearly sought after first Major championship, sometimes you need to see things a little differently to finally make that yearned for breakthrough to your own success. Herein lies the true value of the material contained in Embracing Failure: Your Key to Success. Supporting the empowering acronym--central to the theme of the book--the author cleverly uses illustrations and his own poetry before each chapter. These make for an enlightening preview of the coming chapter. The effect on your attention is as much entertaining as it is illuminating, ensuring you get the chapter's intended message.

This highly informative and life-changing book is one your bookshelf is incomplete without.
