‘Tis so much joy! ‘Tis so much joy!
If I should fail, what poverty!
And yet, as poor as I,
Have ventured all upon a throw!
Have gained! Yes! Hesitated so -
This side the Victory!
Life is but Life! And Death, but Death!
Bliss is but Bliss, and Breath but Breath!
And if indeed I fail,
At least, to know the worst, is sweet!
Defeat means nothing but Defeat,
No drearier, can befall!
And if I gain! Oh Gun at Sea!
Oh Bells, that in the Steeples be!
At first, repeat it slow!
For Heaven is a different thing,
Conjectured, and waked sudden in -
And might extinguish me!
- Emily Dickinson (1860)

I had owned several businesses over the past 18 years, some marginally successful, some failed. Decided I’d do better in Corporate America and ended up fired from 2 jobs. I Read Wayne’s Book twice while starting my new business. In it are all the key ingredients for success. Many other books seem to contain only a few ingredients, while “The Joy of Failure” has them all. I used each and every one of those ingrediates… I now earn over six figures, have more time to do what I want and enjoy life. There is no rocket science or majic here. A lot of basics, but packaged and delived in a way to realize success. His methods worked for me. If you’ve ever been rejected, beat up, knocked down, told you can’t do something, scared to death that you might fail again… get up and read this book!
