My August reading selection is 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐 𝑮𝒆𝒕 𝒂 𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝒐𝒏 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒍𝒖𝒓𝒆: 𝑭𝒂𝒊𝒍 𝑺𝒎𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒆𝒓—𝑹𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒓𝒏 𝑺𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒆𝒓 by John C. Maxwell. The premise really resonated with me because every entrepreneur experiences setbacks. The difference is what we do with them.

I'm looking forward to Maxwell's perspective on turning mistakes into lessons, challenges into opportunities, & failures into future success. If you're a business owner, leader or professional who believes growth often comes from the tough moments, this book may be worth adding to your reading list.
