Success? Failure? Just Bounce!
Failure seems to be an inevitable part of the entrepreneurial process. Many of the greatest entrepreneurial success stories had failures early in their career. In order to make ourselves feel better, it seems, we often try to tell ourselves that failure is something we learn from, but author Barry Moltz says that's not always true -- sometimes failure just sucks. Sometimes, no matter your best efforts, it just doesn't work out -- look for the lesson, and there's not one there.
In his latest book, Bounce! Failure, Resiliency, and Confidence to Achieve Your Next Great Success (Compare Prices), Moltz explores how we cope with failure, as well as how to define success on your own terms.
I've arranged for an exclusive excerpt from the book entitled Failure Makes Choices", and caught up with Barry for an interview in which he shares his unconventional wisdom on success and failure. Enjoy!

Great interview!
I think people should start taking notes and applying some of the advice contained in this interview. I think something missing in many small and big entrepreneurs is the culture of docummenting your progress, using statistics and several key process indicators, depending on the type of business you’re running.
When it comes to Internet marketing, I think no one does it better than James Brausch , who sells real business procedures and statistical software, not snake oil like most “gurus” out there.
