Discover Everyday Habits and Exercises to Overcome Failure and Achieve Success
How many times did you fail and gave up out of frustration or discouragement? How often does failure ruin your resolve and send you back to square one, only to fail over and over again, with little hope anything will ever change?
Written by bestselling author Martin Meadows, From Failure to Success: Everyday Habits and Exercises to Build Mental Resilience and Turn Failures Into Successes reveals what failure really is and how to deal with it in a constructive way that will help you achieve success.
The author has suffered through multiple failures in his own life. He spent several years launching one failing business after another. He struggled to change his physique, despite doing all the right things as preached by the experts. For a long time, his social life barely existed because he struggled with crippling shyness. In the book, he shares his vast experience of how he turned failure into a friend and finally achieved the success he had failed to reach for years.
Here's just a taste of what you'll learn from the book:
- A different way of thinking about failure. Applying this mental shift will change your perception of what failure and success are and fine-tune your brain to automatically convert obstacles into wins.
- 7 types of failure and how to handle them - including failure due to self-sabotage, fear, unrealistic expectations, self-licensing, and more. Each chapter talks about a different source of failure and comes with tips on how to overcome it and prevent it in the future, along with valuable exercises you can perform to better understand the discussed concepts.
- 5 rules and exercises to develop and maintain a success-friendly mindset. Discover 5 principles the author follows in his life to ensure that even with failures, he will eventually reach success with every goal to which he sets his mind.
- A 5-step process to cope with failure and bounce back. If you're struggling to recover from failure, this strategy will offer you step-by-step instructions on how to process the failure and restart your efforts.
- 3 master strategies to build strength to keep going. Discover three fundamental techniques that will help you build mental resilience and determination.
- 4 reasons to give up. Contrary to what many self-help authors say, sometimes it's better to give up than keep trying. Learn when and why it's better to drop your objective and dedicate your resources to another goal.
- 10 empowering stories of people who faced insurmountable obstacles, yet turned their struggles into immense successes. Learn from real-world examples from all walks of life.
Failure is a fact of life. You can get angry at it or befriend it and use it as a tool to change your life. The choice is yours. If you'd rather take the constructive approach so you can eventually win, buy the book now, study it, and apply the teachings in your own life. You, too, can develop mental resilience and turn failures into successes! **
Review
"Author's clear and coherent style won me over once more. I found the approach of perceiving "failure" merely as a learning curve - empowering, especially when I felt author's authentic approach in explaining his own "failures", it was somehow easy to adopt that in myself instantaneously." - Summer, reader
"Martin writes his books in an easy read, easy identifiable style - like a friend sharing insights and stories. I agree with his philosophy of ever present failure as a learning experience to embrace rather than fear. I personally prefer books that encapsulate information and suggest actions to be followed. I found this book to have accomplished that and more. Not only an enjoyable read but an actionable one." - Susan Pemberton, reader
"Another marvel from Martin Meadows - "From Failure to Success"! Here the author builds upon knowledge from his earlier great works to provide a comprehensive, holistic view on the gray line between failure and success. The book has a nice format: it intertwines definitions, empowering stories, exercises to suggest a powerful approach to not only recuperate from failure, but to also extract all the benefits of knowledge and life experiences that lay on the curvy road to success." - Alex Kukin, reader
"This is possibly the last system you really need to help you get to where you want to go in life." - **Thomas, reader
"I love how intensely practical this book is" - Dandelion Dust the Unicorn Man, reader**
From the Author
As a guy obsessed with personal development, failure is an inherent part of my life. Over the years, I failed countless times in:
- Business -- It took me several long years of struggle to launch my first profitable business. Most of the time, nobody but me believed that I would ever become a successful entrepreneur. And I don't blame them. I failed time after time, constantly riding a wild rollercoaster of getting my hopes up, falling into depression, then launching a new project that was followed by failure and another bout of depression.
- Health and Fitness -- It took me years to change certain unhealthy habits and build a fit physique. For years, despite exercising religiously several times a week, if you looked at my body, you'd never think I went to the gym at all. In fact, pretty much every new gym-goer had better results after a couple of months than I did after years of exercise, sacrifices, and countless hours spent researching how to turn my fitness around.
- Relationships -- For years, my extreme shyness prevented me from having a normal social life. Imagine a guy who radiates total awkwardness when merely talking to a woman about a neutral topic. Yeah, that was me.
- Sports and Learning New Skills -- I spent a year learning how to play tennis, only to realize that I was a hopeless case. I spent weeks learning Arabic only to discover that when I visited an Arabic-speaking country, almost nobody wanted to speak Arabic with me, let alone be impressed by my non-existent skills. I tried to learn how to invest in stock options only to realize that I couldn't even understand how fees were calculated.
To say that I'm good buddies with failure would be an understatement. Fortunately, this also means I learned a lot about it. My intention for this book is to help you get more comfortable with struggles and failure and aid you in reaching your goals.
