2 Lessons in Life PEOPLE LEARN TOO LATE

This is the origin story for the writing of Failure Rules!: The 5 Rules of Failure for Entrepreneurs, Creatives, and Authentics (Coming September 2022)

In this video we will uncover why failure itself doesn’t rule—in fact, it sucks.

Failure can ruin lives. Ruin families. Destroy health. Obliterate self-esteem. And launch ripple effects tasted exponentially by those in its extended path.

Failure can plant an unbridled jostling within the heartbeat of your soul. A debilitating stirring that haunts your gut. An anarchic terror that paralyzes your mental capacities.

Failure can freeze your ability to digest food correctly, to make even the
smallest of decisions, to exercise, to love, and to be loved.

Let’s face it: failure really blows.

I didn’t write FAILURE RULES! to worship at the twisted altar of self-indulgent, willful failure. There is no lesson, no discovery, and no value in that.

But failure that is unintended, stridently fought against, creatively challenged, and humbly accepted when emerging inevitable, is valuable.

Because after it sucks, Failure Rules!
