I have discovered the secret so that you never have to fail again... EVER.
I have known this secret for a very long time. I discovered it by accident.
 
It is with great hesitation that I offer to you what I have uncovered.
This information will allow you to not ever fail again...EVER.
 
Just imagine going through the rest of your life knowing
you would never fail, EVER

So first I'd like you to ask yourself....
"what would you attempt to do if you knew you couldn't fail?"
WWYATDIYKYCF?
I like that one almost as much as HHCTB?
I even have a bracelet with all those letters on it to constantly
remind me to have a vision, to always be looking ahead.. planning
 
If you could do anything and I mean anything that you wanted and you
knew all would work out GREAT! 
What would you do?
 
Anything from personal relationships to business... ANYTHING.
Please stop for a moment and think about that question.
Perhaps even taking the time to write it down.

This exercise may be a test of your imagination but...
Knowing it would still be OK in the end, you still hesitate.
 
That has to tell you something about yourself.
Do you not care enough?
Do you not have enough desire?
What would be the reason that you would hesitate to answer that question?
 
Fear of Failure-Fear of Success... Could it be one of those 2?
Both of these can be crippling.

Fear of Failure
Fear is a learned behavior. Fear is not a trait you are born with. It is
something that you acquire. Your parents scold you when you get to close
to the stairway.  Oh, I may fall down.
Stay away from the stove.  Oh, I may get burned.
Those are things that we learn in our lives everyday since we were very small.
 
Fear of Success
People don't plan enough to be successful. I had a girlfriend who became
very successful in her marketing career. But her husband told her there
was only room for 1 STAR in the family.
 
She did a 180 and within a few weeks she turned in her resignation to the
company. What was it that made her choose her husband over her career?
 
Fear of Failure or Fear of Success?
 
A bit of a side note... the marriage broke up after a few years but not before
a couple of kids.
 
Susan Jeffers wrote the most wonderful book, "Feel the Fear and DO it Anyway."
Fear is a learned trait.... feel the fear and do it anyway.
 
Worry and quilt are both useless emotions, Your wasting your time if you dwell
on either of them.

I promised to tell you the secret of not ever failing again. I hope that by now
you have discovered what I learned about failure a long time ago.
 
I never fail... EVER. Everything that I have done in my life has been a leaning
process. Did I mess up?  YOU BETCHA. Many times. But not once did I
ever view them as failures.

So the secret that I hesitate to tell you about not ever failing again, EVER
Is to never start.... and you will never have to worry about failure again, EVER
