I have been reading a book lately that is called "Failing Forward. Turning mistakes into Stepping Stones for Success" by John C. Maxwell.
I must say that it is a very inspirational and informative book for those who have failed in life, especially in business in the past, and how to move forward and do so much better.
Very good book,
Tal

Oh there is always a lesson there..in our "mistakes".
Life is a learning experience!
Success is wonderful, especially after trial and error.

Maxwell has quite a few good books. I've had that on my list to read, but haven't gotten to it yet.
One of my favorite quotations from one of his books is:
"If you don't pay the price initially you will pay the price eventually".
About failing forward...I think eventually if you ENJOY the experience of failing you have hit gold because you KNOW that you are likely about to learn something tremendously valuable.

Success certainly comes from failing forward. All to often people don't understand that success is not achieved in a one shot deal.
Just ask any of us successful home business people. Commitment and determination does pay off.

Reading books and working on yourself should be a daily thing. There is so much power in reading.
If you read 15 minutes before you read, it will change your life for the better.
Another good book that everyone here should read if you have not read it, it is called Think and Grow Rich By Napoleon Hill. It is like the bible of self help.
