We have Matt McWilliams with us again. We look back on the Thank You Revolution, which we talked about in episode #002. Great things are happening there!
He wrote an e-book called “The Power of Gratitude.” If you join his e-mail list, you’ll get this great ebook for free.
He also wrote “Jay-Z on Business & 8 Other Essays to Advance Your Career,” and is a bonus when you buy Mark Sieverkropp’s book, “Project: Success.” Check out the post on Matt’s blog for details on getting this book.
We also spend time talking about failure and how to use it to move forward.
Take risk, but make sure failure is not fatal.
Make sure your failure moves you toward your destination. Matt relates this to driving on a road and having to take detours on the way to your destination.
