Kindle Notes & Highlights
“Do the thing you fear and the death of fear is certain.”
Running away from your fears is a losing strategy. — Jeff Keller
When you push through fear and take action in some areas of your life, you’ll develop confidence in other areas, as well. It’s true!
But you won’t develop your abilities to the fullest unless you’re willing to be uncomfortable.
Life doesn’t reward those who refuse to expose themselves to difficulties and challenges. It’s important that you put yourself in a position to win — and that means taking action despite fear.
Confront your fears… and you’re on the way to developing your potential and leading the exciting, fulfilling life you deserve. ...

Success is going from failure to failure without
Successful people have learned to “fail” their way to success. While they may not particularly enjoy their “failures,” they recognize them as a necessary part of the road to victory.
After all, becoming proficient at any skill requires time, effort and discipline... and the willingness to persevere through whatever difficulties may arise.
The greatest mistake a person can make is to be afraid of making one. — Elbert Hubbard

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go. — William Feather
So, when you get right down to it, there is no such thing as “failure” — there are only results, some more successful than others. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve reached the end of the line and that success isn’t possible. The only time success is impossible is when you quit. Quitting is final. But continued attempts, with commitment and diligence, can be turned into success.

Of course, it’s much easier to be committed when you love what you’re doing. Therefore, go after those goals you’re passionate about, and harbor no thought of quitting. Do I have too many discouraging influences? Unsuccessful results can be frustrating. That’s why we need to surround ourselves with people who support and believe in us. If you hang around with negative people who are highly critical or who are doing very little in their own lives, your energy and enthusiasm will be drained. Therefore, develop a network of individuals to encourage and coach you toward success.
Am I preparing to succeed? Success in any endeavor requires thorough preparation. Are you taking steps to learn everything you can about accomplishing your
networking with highly successful people in your field. It might mean finding a mentor or getting a coach to work with you. Successful individuals are always sharpening their skills. Those getting unsuccessful outcomes often do the same things over and over without making necessary adjustments. So, be “coachable.” Accept the fact that you don’t already know it all and find resources to keep you on trac...

Am I truly willing to fail? Face
Failure is essential for growth. Look failure squarely in the face and see it as a natural part of the success process. Then, failure will lose its power over you. The truth is, when you’re not afraid to fail, you’re well on the way to success. Welcome failure as an unavoidable yet vital component in the quest to achieve your goals.
Turning Failure Into Success
As Beverly Sills once remarked, “You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try. ”
No, you won’t close every sale. And you won’t make money on every investment. Life is a series of wins and losses, even for the most successful. The winners in life know that you crawl before you walk and you walk before you run. And with each new goal comes a new set of failures. It’s up to you whether you treat these disappointments as temporary setbacks and challenges to overcome, or as insurmountable obstacles. If you make it your business to learn from every defeat and stay focused on the end result you wish to attain, failure will eventually lead you to success!

The Benefits Of Networking
In the personal realm, here’s what networking can do for you:
enhance your social relationships by introducing you to new friends help you to become acquainted with people of varying ethnic, cultural and philosophical backgrounds provide valuable information and resources contribute to your spiritual growth
Let me pass along 16 techniques that I’ve found productive.
To simplify matters, I’ve organized them into four separate, but related, categories: 1) attitude and action; 2) referrals; 3) communication; and 4) follow-up.
Project a winning attitude. When it comes to networking, attitude is everything! If you’re positive and enthusiastic, people will want to spend time with you. They’ll want to help you. If you’re gloomy and negative, people will avoid you, and they’ll hesitate
Participate actively in groups and organizations.
You must demonstrate that you’ll take the time and make the effort to contribute to the group.
The other members will respect you when they see you roll up your sleeves and do some work. They’ll also learn about your people skills, your character, your values and last, but not least, your attitude!
