All the hours you've spent building up your strength, your knowledge, or your finances, all will have been for nothing. And it hurts, it truly does. But it's not the end of the world, you know. This eBook is meant to inspire you, and let you know that making mistakes and failing, no matter how catastrophic it may seem now, is not reason enough to give up. If you're in a bad situation now, lighten up. For as long you've got life in you, there's no reason not to continue fighting for your dreams.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are some people born to achieve anything they want while others struggle? What is the real reason for their success? John C. Maxwell has the answer: The difference between average people and achieving people is their perception of and response to failure. Most people are never prepared to deal with failure. Bestselling author John C. Maxwell says that if you are like him, you feared it, misunderstood it, and ran away from it. However, he has learned to make failure his friend, and he can teach you to do the same. Maxwell takes a closer look at failure and reveals that the secret of moving beyond failure is to use it as a lesson and a stepping-stone. In Failing Forward, Maxwell will show you: the key main reasons people fail, how to master fear instead of being mastered by it, and positive benefits can accompany negative experiences. Filled with action suggestions and real-life stores, Failing Forward is a strategic guide that will help you move beyond mistakes to fulfill your potential and achieve success. Discover how to confidently look the prospect of failure in the eye and move forward anyway. In life, the question is not?if?you will have problems, but how you are going to deal with them? Stop failing backward and start failing forward!

Truth is, most successful people have failed their way to the top. For every successful person that you see, what you don't see is the trail of bankruptcies, failed partnerships, and pricey mistakes that made them who they are today. So does that mean every entrepreneur has to go through the same horrors, heartaches and pain? Is there any way to avoid this? Well one way is to learn from the experiences of others. . . MJ Gottlieb's How To Ruin A Business Without Really Trying takes a new and exciting approach to help entrepreneurs by telling them what “not” to do.
