The process of success in any endeavor requires journeying on the archetypal hero’s path. This path requires us to confront monsters encounter metaphorical death and darkness and to recover the treasure from these deep places and bring it back to our community and world.
Don’t give when it looks bleak. The great tragedy that I see too often is the willingness to stop at the darkest point of the journey when the dawn is so close and success is just around the bend.
I have invested $20,000 in this book, not to mention countless thousands of hours. I’ve forgone more immediate income for a longer and broader sales strategy. I am ecstatic and have no regrets. I don’t know if the book will sell well. But I do know that the content is incredible. And I do know that thousands upon thousands of people are going to benefit from this work.
I can’t wait to share this book with you. And I hope that the main message of the book is conveyed thoroughly. Success is not about doing everything right. Success is the ability to get up quickly when you fall. Success is the ability to fail forward fast. It is not the absence of failure it is the presence of courage and confidence to continue…that is indestructible success.
This picture is of the print preview from info distributors. It is the galley and the cover. The book has been an extraordinary labor of love. I have made so many mistakes. Yet, I’ve never felt more enthusiastic about any creative work. The challenge has brought out the best in me and the best possible book. What we crave is not an easy life. What we crave is a meaningful life. When we are sufficiently challenged in a meaningful pursuit that makes life rich full and abundant.
