Chapter 1:
Failure Basics- How To Do Everything You Can To Fail And
Learn A Lesson From It
Synopsis
While most books are for people who are interested in bettering their
lives, I’m aware that several are committed to the contrary path.
These people by choice decline steps that would lead to measurable
advances. They prefer that everything fails — for as long as possible.

The Basics
Three basics lessons can be taught about business failure and what is
learned should be applied to a new business to improve its chances of
not failing. The lessons are common sense and simple and probably
because of that they work.
Do not pour money into a new business and keep feeding it cash
hoping it will magically become a business – it will not and your
business will fail.
Lesson two is all about focus. Lack of planning can mean no goals
and no business focus. Flexibility is essential to running a successful
business but so is focus.
Most importantly the final lesson teaches us that the head of the
business must lead the staff or tribe. Effective leadership has to be
shown.

To succeed in business you must focus, like a bulldog, on your
mission and your message and be sure to lead your tribe.

Chapter 2:
What Habits Work- If It Works You Will Succeed
Synopsis
To fail...Take stock of which habits are producing the better results
for you, and desert them. Substitute them with habits that see to it
there’s no forward advancement. Even better are habits that induce
reversion. Watch lots of television. Consume fast food. Keep away
from exercising. Make Facebooking the high spot of your day.
Be careful… If you have the right habits you may just succeed.

The Path
Paper work has to be very well organized and should not be allowed
to accumulate. It is important to allocate a time to deal with
incoming paperwork and there should be instituted a policy of only
handling a piece of paper once.
-9-
It is important to prioritize all work to be done. It is a good habit to
draw up a list each week of what is to be accomplished and essential
that important project work not be left to the last minute.

What Places Work- If Your Are In The Right Place You
May Succeed
Synopsis
Be careful… if you are in the right place you just may succeed.
You might have heard people say that location is the most important
consideration for a business. Then the next most important
is . . . . . . . . location and so on.
For many reasons getting the right location can make the difference
between success and failure. It is always possible to think of a shop or
a restaurant where we live that has closed down maybe because it was
in the wrong place.

Mentality
It is crucial to have e passion about the product and service that the
business sells. This passion is infectious and will rub off onto
customers, clients and staff also.
Successful people must have the desire to become successful and the
drive and determination to achieve their goals. They must also have
well developed egos and believe emphatically in themselves and their
business to be able to carry on in the face of negativity. Vision and
the courage to follow instincts and to take a leap of faith are all
attributes of a successful entrepreneur.

keeping going is vital. Possessing wisdom and using commonsense to
learn from mistakes and to be able to think with a clear mind is
important. The ability to make good decisions and to be able to take
calculated risks is paramount.

success with an active online presence. Whether a business sells
goods or a service it can reach customers directly.

Businesses must be constantly innovative. When coming up with new
product ideas thought should be given to how well the idea meets the
needs and wants of the masses.

Chapter 6:
If You Are Doing The Wrong Stuff- Don’t Worry About

Great Tips
Getting good at failure needs a good leader, someone who can create
an environment safe for taking risks and who is prepared also to
share their own mistakes.
Individuals may fear failure but they also fear the consequences of it
even more. In addition to making sure performance evaluation takes
on a long term view it is important to consider rewarding or
celebrating smart failures.
21
As many businesses will fail it may be necessary for an increasing
number of business to take on the mindset of designers and scientists
who work to prove themselves wrong not to succeed. Failures in
business have a great deal to teach us.
