In This Interview, Skip Prichard and I Discuss…

His book, The Book of Mistakes: 9 Secrets to Creating a Successful Future
How what you focus on grows
That he looks at everybody as a teacher
The riddle that’s perplexed him throughout his life
Success is when you’re filled with ambition and peace in equal measure at the same time
The mistake of accepting excuses
Built-in personal accountability
How nobody but you can work on your healing
Ok, that happened – what are you going to do about it
The microphone in our mind
Allowing temporary setbacks to become permanent failures
Having Grit
The very real pain of failure
How do you keep going through despair, failure, depression – it’s resilience
Are you showing up to the people in the room intentionally?
