Failing forward tells you how to look at life?s setbacks and learn from your mistakes. If you haven?t

failed at anything, it means you haven?t really taken a risk at anything. The basic steps to moving on and failing forward are…

• Realize there is one major difference between average people and achievers. The difference is in how they respond to failure.
• Learn a new definition of failure.
• Remove the ?you? from failure. Don?t take it personally.
• Take action and reduce your fear.
• Change your response to failure by accepting responsibility.
• Don?t let failure from outside get inside you.
• If at first you do succeed, try something harder.
• Learn from a bad experience and make it a good experience.
• Work on the weakness that weakens you.
• Get up, get over it, get going.

Well, and it sums up to the top ten reasons people fail

• Poor people skills
• negative attitude
• bad fit (Trying to put a square peg in a round hole, or staying in the wrong job/field)
• Lack of focus
• weak commitment
• unwillingness to change
• shortcut mind-set (cutting corners instead of taking the time to achieve something of value)
• Relying on talent alone (or work ethic, people skills, etc)
• Poor information-gathering
• An absence of goals
