    We insist on setting up an opposition between concepts of success and failure, but this notion is unhelpful and can stop us achieving due to the stigma attached to failure itself.

Learn logical, practical steps you can take to restructure your approach to working toward achievement and simplified methods for boosting your energy, motivation, skills, and productivity. By applying the formulas laid out, you can increase your likelihood of achieving success and feel better about your progress on a daily basis.

    · How to use failure to your own advantage

    · Why setting yourself goals is ineffective and what you should do instead

    · How to increase your odds for finding success.
