About The Book
What would
you do if you had a revolutionary resource to help you become a successful
leader, reach your goals, make your life better, and propel you to become all
that you are meant to be?
Sounds
impossible? Well, it is not! In the “impossible” is the “possible.” And if you
want the possibility of becoming successful, United States Army Retired
Colonel, George Milton’s book, Failure Is Not The Problem, It’s The Beginning
Of Your Success is a must-read. Most leadership books major themes discuss how
to achieve success only, but in life, we all fail sometimes. And a lot of us
fail miserably and oftentimes, more than we care to mention.
Throughout
my life I have faced multiple failures over many years, yet I went on to
achieve most of the goals I set for myself. It wasn’t always that way. At the
beginning of my life failure hung over my head like an albatross around my
neck. It wasn’t until I learned how to accept my failures and use those
experiences to make myself better that I began to understand the value that my
failure offered.
Too often
we have been taught that failure has little or no value. We learn how to
minimally tolerate our failure most times but not how to fully embrace our
failures because of the negativity associated with that one powerful word.
I wrote my
book, workbook, and journal in order to help those who are struggling with
failure to learn a better way of becoming successful. The topic is a failure, but
the goal for my readers is to learn how to become successful by utilizing their
failures as their strength and not experience failure as a weakness as most
have been taught.
If you want
to succeed you must walk through the doorway of this life-changing resource,
failure. In my book I address the challenges of adversity and how failure can
motivate you, focus you, and change our life for the better.
In my book
I share my story of growth from a difficult youth to a distinguished career
Army combat officer. I share that it was only possible because I changed and
adjusted my attitude to understand that my failures were actually my greatest
resource. Not only do I reveal personal triumphs and defeats,
I
demonstrate how in 12 easy to follow steps, you can transform your mindset from
negative to positive regarding failure and in the process become successful.
Failure is
a very difficult topic for most people to talk about and share. Therefore, not
only did I write a book, but I also wrote a workbook and a journal to accompany
my book so as to ease the challenge of approaching this sometimes-complex
topic.
When I
speak to people about their failures, I will sometimes present to the audience
this one question, “when you fail, in one word, describe how that failure makes
you feel.” Overwhelmingly there are two words that are at the forefront:
disappointed and depressed.
The time
has come for us to turn the page and reengage that one word, failure, and
understand that once we learn how to accept our failures as a natural part of
our lives, we will be able to not only achieve our life’s goals but will be
better equipped to live a more productive and happier life.
It is my
hope that anyone who reads my book or finds the courage to go through the workbook
and journal will understand that if they genuinely want to become successful
and obtain their long-sought-after goals and ambitions, they will learn how to
embrace their failures as well as learn the important lessons and nuggets that
failure has in store for them.
Here is the formula I came up with to remind myself of how to respond to my failures.
F+RR=S
Failure +
Right Response = Success
In other
words, when I fail, if I respond to my failure with the right response, to learn,
to get better, to change my direction in life, to change my goals, then my
chances of obtaining my objectives and successes will increase. Versus, blaming
or making excuses and worst case, quitting.
Join me on
this quest to change the world and impact the lives of people everywhere by
helping them change their mindset to accept, understand, and learn that
failure, when responded to properly is their greatest resource to help them
become all that they are meant to be.

FAILURE + RIGHT RESPONSE=SUCCESS (F+RR=S)
I have two fun facts for you.
1. Scientific data says 92% of People who set New Year’s
goals never actually achieve them. That leaves 8% of people who do achieve
those ambitions.
2. 100% of “ALL” people at some point in their life will
“FAIL” and “ALL” will “FAIL” multiple times.
Hello everyone, I am George Milton, “The Failure Coach.” A
Certified Trainer in Success Principles.
Throughout my life, I have failed many times. I failed out of
kindergarten, I failed the first grade, I almost didn’t graduate from high
school, I failed multiple times trying to get into the military, the Air Force
initially and then the Army.
I failed or dropped out of six universities. I failed
miserably and often when given training classes after I finally achieved my goal of enlisting into the Army.
Yet I went on to earn four degrees. Two of which are
Master’s, all from accredited universities. I have 17 hours toward a doctorate
degree, with a 4.0 GPA.
I became a full Colonel in the Army. And, I went on to be
inducted into the Officer Candidate School Hall of Fame. As part of my normal
duties as a Colonel, I briefed Ambassadors and spoke publicly to foreign
governments.
After a very slow start in life, how did I go on to accomplish
all of this success?
By changing my relationship, my mindset, and my attitude
regarding “FAILURE.”
Why do people fear failure? Is it because failure,
represents a mark of disgrace associated with a specific unfavorable
circumstance or experience in our lives? Perhaps it defines the quality of a
person one might believe himself to be. Is it because failure signifies shame,
disgrace, dishonor; disdain, and a blemish on our personhood? For me, it comes
down to a single word, “stigma.” It seems to me that if most people were
honest, they can see how failure in and of itself isn’t necessarily the issue.
It’s the “stigma” associated with the failure which creates the problems.
Everyone basically knows that they have failed and will at some point in the future,
fail again. So, failure isn’t really the problem. It’s the stigma allied with
the failure. Which also is attached to our ego.
For many, it is critical for their friends, their community,
their families, and colleagues to see them in a favorable light. Absolutely nothing
wrong with wanting to be respected and highly thought of. The challenge is,
despite how others see you, it’s more important how you see yourself.
Particularly when you fail. Pretending or hoping that “everyone” will like you
or respect you is setting yourself up for failure. An interesting irony, isn’t it?
