So many people believe they are failing right now. The fear of failure can be totally debilitating. Yet, failure -- whether it is perceived or true – is often the key to success. Just ask countless entrepreneurs how many times they thought it was all over, but the next “failure" ultimately led to their success. Dr. G, Brian, and Jeannette give their personal perspectives and insights on failure. They are joined by author and speaker Thom Singer, who shares two key pieces of advice when it comes to “plan b," especially when you don't have one. This panic of “what’s next” is pervasive — and right now many people feel they are not able to do anything right. Others may feel that the last year has been a total failure across the board, without anything to show except struggle. Whatever the sense of failure might be, it impacts our self-esteem, relationships and any chance of future success. Find out what you can do today and the real opportunity failure may provide you.
