How to F*ck up Like a Pro

Master the most important leadership skill you’ll need if you want to become a success in the cut-throat world of business.
Henry Ford, Arianna Huffington, Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Vera Wang… What connects all these people?

When we hear household names in business, we tend to think of their successes rather than their failures.

What’s often forgotten about is the painful, sometimes almost career-ending mistakes they made on the long climb to success.

And the setback-list is long… because failure is a human trait.

If you’ve ever sunk all your money into a useless endeavor, made a miscalculation, or had to start a project all over again, you know the true pain of making mistakes.

But is it really possible to turn a dead end situation into a thriving business?

Thomas Edison famously said, “Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up.”

What sets true business leaders apart is the knowledge of how to make mistakes well.

Leadership is not about perfection. Leadership is about accepting that you don’t have all the right answers. It’s when you dare to release control and hold yourself responsible in the face of any crisis.

As a leader, you grow stronger from every rejection, learn to be better time and time again… and know when to do a complete 180.

Your leadership potential lies in how you approach the mistakes you make: in short, you need to learn how to f*ck up like the most successful business leaders of all time.
