E-book: Fearless- How to Turn Failure into Success

Introduction:
Few words elicit an emotional response more strongly than the word

“failure.” One of the biggest obstacles to success is a fear of failure. In

fact, most people are more motivated to avoid failure than they

are to achieve success.

Most people don’t even have written goals because of a fear of failure.

When you set a goal you’re defining success, but you’re also defining

failure!

You might be thinking, “So, if I’m defining failure, maybe I should just

skip the whole ‘define your goals’ concept then?”

I would say, “Absolutely not!’ We need to have goals. We need to have

a way of measuring and defining where we succeeded and where we

didn’t. Every successful person, throughout history has had multiple

failures.

I expect a certain amount of failure. Do I welcome it? No. But I’ve been

in business long enough to know that not everything I do will turn out

the way I expected. There are a lot of things that are beyond my

control and it’s unrealistic to think that I can manipulate everything

around me in a way that leads to guaranteed success.

However, failure is not the opposite of success, it’s a necessary

part of success and successful living. Failure is a common result. It’s

a lot more common than success. Failure is a short stop along the path

to success. There is no significant success without a significant

amount of failure, too.

Perhaps failure is something that should be welcomed, or at least

considered neutral and expected. You should anticipate a fair amount

of failure along the way.

If you’re not failing, you’re not trying.
