How to Get a Return on Failure

Fail Smarter—Return Stronger

By: John C. Maxwell

Narrated by: John C. Maxwell

Get Ahead–Even When You Lose!

What if you could learn to profit from nearly every loss or misstep in your life, and get a return on it—like an investment?

The most successful people get ahead because they deal with failure positively. Since they know they can’t avoid failure, they make the best of it and gain from it. People who adopt this approach learn to build more substantial and significant success in their lives.

In his new book How to Get a Return on Failure, John Maxwell teaches listeners how to turn misses into wins and losses into gains. He creates a positive roadmap anyone can follow during these difficult times and shows how changing your perspective on failure can transform your ability to grow, improve, and move forward.

Failure will always be a part of our lives. We cannot avoid it. But we can leverage it to create a better future for ourselves and others. When we do that, it separates us from the people who let failure stop or defeat them. Follow Maxwell’s advice and you’ll never look at failure the same way again.

Great leadership book. I love this teaching

Great way to look at failure and how to use it to help me improve

Failure is an experience.

I am a John C. Maxwell fan. I enjoy this simplicity but depth of his writing style. Over the past few years I have been reflecting on my life's journey and this book has allowed me to recognize and accept that failure with reflection is ok.

Wow! Really, really good!

I believe this is one of the best books that John Maxwell has ever written. His last few were OK, but this one was excellent!!! highly recommend this one to anyone who struggled with failure in their life. You will not be disappointed.
