Chasing Failure: How Falling Short Sets You up for Success (Hardcover)

What would you do if you knew you could not fail? Run a marathon? Go back to school? Run for president? Start a business? Ryan Leak decided that if he knew he could not fail, he'd try out for the NBA. So he did. And he failed. But that experience led to greater opportunities than he could have imagined. In Chasing Failure, Ryan explores why chasing failure can take us further than chasing success ever could. He speaks to all of us with unfulfilled dreams, offering practical ideas on how to: Move an idea from a dream to reality, Ask the right questions to create an action plan for goals, Learn from past failures to step into future successes, Decide if your dream is worth chasing or if it's time to move on to something better, Silence your inner critic that questions if you're good enough to pull it off This is a book for the dreamers, the out-of-the-box thinkers, and the innovators who refuse to settle for the status quo. It's a book to prepare you for the day you wake up and stop being scared. The day you realize you don't have to try to fail. But you have to be willing to fail. What's that calling you've always wanted to follow? Ryan has a message of hope for you: Failure is right around the corner. Be brave enough to chase it! The good life is on the other side.
