The Freedom to Fail

by Richard Fenton & Andrea Waltz

It's almost Independence Day (July 4th) here in America. It made us think about how much "Go for No" has provided us in terms of freedom. Writing the book, speaking to audiences and creating tools to help people has given us the freedom to do a lot of interesting things both personally and professionally. Of course we are grateful to be in a country where we can do this as well. And while freedom has many levels and meanings - simply when it comes to the freedom to pursue your goals and dreams we wanted to share several of our favorite quotes...

"Freedom lies in being bold." - Robert Frost

"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom." - Viktor E. Frankl

“Freedom is not worth having if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes.”
- Mahatma Gandhi

"Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.” - Jim Morrison

"Seek freedom and become captive of your desires. Seek discipline and find your liberty.” - Frank Herbert

"Instead of trying to make your life perfect, give yourself the freedom to make it an adventure, and go ever upward.” - Drew Houston, CEO Dropbox

Wherever you are this week, USA or somewhere else... we hope that you embrace and appreciate your freedom. As Eric Fromm said, "There can be no real freedom without the freedom to fail."

7 Reasons to Write a Book...

Speaking of freedom... last month we talked about what writing books has done for our business and really, how it changed our lives. If you've been thinking about it yourself, here are our top 7 reasons why writing a book might be a good idea for you...

1. You have a message you want to get out into the world
2. You want to establish instant credibility in your area of expertise
3. You want an additional way to generate leads for your business
4. You want to have a business card people won’t throw away
5. You want to separate yourself from the competition
6. You wouldn’t mind having an additional stream of income
7. You’ve always wanted to be a published author (and you wouldn’t mind having a best seller, either!)

If even one of these reasons resonated with you, we invite you to sign up for our free webinar that we are doing on Monday, July 2. https://www.milliondollarbookformula.com/p/SelfGrowthWebinar

NOteworthy Quote

"The freedom to fail is vital if you're going to succeed. Most successful people fail from time to time, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success." - Michael Korda
