I think I need to get that book asap. You have given me a completely different perspective on “failure is not an option”. I often have that in mind when I also say never quit. Doing that though, sounds like I may be setting myself up for disappointment, because failure is part of what we do. Not everything works out exactly as planned. Really got me thinking tonight, thanks! =) Now to go find that book.
Excellent mindset change Alicia. You can grab the book from my blog should have a direct reference.
