SUCCESS IS 99% FAILURE


Someone once told me that "SUCCESS IS 99% FAILURE". I believe this to be true. All failures, setbacks, errors and mistakes are our greatest teachers, mentors, guides that enable us to learn then forge ahead. Several of my books have been rejected for publication numerous times and each time I learned from the publisher what I needed to know to make it a better book. These learning experiences made me the writer that I am today as I begin to write my 12th book. I like to tell my athletes that they are working with someone who is a failure... and proud of it. They laugh but get the point.  Embrace failure for what it is. Remember that the arrow that hits the bullseye is the result of 100 misses.
