Failing Forward: Turning Mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success

How you respond to failure makes all the difference. . .

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!

It’s a great read for those who find it difficult to move forward because you might fail. Not only does the author make it seem normal to fail, but almost an expectation a person should have that will make the person better in the long run.

It's nice to know there are no such things as mistakes, only steps to success.
