Sure, you can learn through failure, and most likely you’ll have at least one
false start on the road to freedom. But failure is overrated—who says you’ll fail?
You can just as easily succeed. You can apply the lessons from these stories and
create the new life you want.

KEY POINTS
Advice can be helpful, but you can also just step out and take a big leap.
Don’t wait for someone to give you permission.
More than competition or other external factors, the biggest battle is
against our own fear and inertia. Thankfully, this also means we are in
complete control of managing it.
When you have a success or “moment you knew” story, hold on to it; these
experiences are powerful and will help you later if times get hard.
The most important lesson in the whole book: Don’t waste your time
living someone else’s life.
