Kevin's Candid Successes and Failures
Where should I start! I opened up a can of worms in the book when I told you I'd make a list of the successes and failures that I've been though in my life. So I guess now's the time when I reveal all the juicy information, you've been waiting to sink your teeth into. The reason I want to tell you about these blunders and wild successes is because by seeing them you will realize what it takes to get to where you want to go. Much of my life--before I became successful—was spent trying to figure out what WOULDN'T work, instead of what would. I was always the guy who would raise my hand in class and tell everyone definitively what was wrong with the thesis before we even started. I guess that was a product of my upbringing. It wasn't until I stopped thinking this was and started believing that ANYTHING was possible, that I began to realize this type of thinking was much more effective for getting what I wanted and helping others get what they want! Many of these failures, as you'll see, I've turned into successes in the long run... leading me and you to the fact that nothing is really that bad! So here they are in no particular order: Kevin's Notable Failures and Blunders
