From Failure to Success

Failure is something that we all face in our lives. I've sure had my 30 __________. I remember that by the mid 1990s, I had worked myself all the way from a sales person to Marketing Director of a thriving company only to discover that I really did not like that position. So I did something radical. I decided 31 __________ that very secure job and start my own advertising based business. It was an original idea in an industry I was very familiar with - a business magazine mailed to local business owners around my community. A great idea plus my hard work ethic would work, I was sure.

Both my wife and I put everything we had, financially and emotionally, into this idea. It was very exciting to see how fast we acquired our first (and last) 30 clients! Within a couple of months we had a real magazine! Clients were getting fantastic results. There was only one small problem. Although clients were 32 __________ about the return they were getting, some still had financial problems and couldn't continue on a regular 33 __________. The bottom line was that we eventually 34 __________ out of money. Then, on top of having to close down the magazine, we even had to sell our car just to pay postage for the last mailing!

I was devastated ... my dream had died. I remember how depressed I was. I had no job, no money, and worst of all - a seriously damaged sense of confidence. Maybe, that's where you are now.

It took another two months for me to hit the real bottom when I had to sell our earthquake preparedness kit to buy some food ... we were that 35 __________. But I didn't give up hope to find employment. A week later, totally out of the 36 __________, I received a call from a stranger offering me the best job I'd ever had. An old friend who I hadn't talked with for years referred me to him. It was nothing short of a miracle, It was eerie.
