Do I have any fans of failure out there? Anyone just love looking like an idiot? Anyone just proud as can be when something is a flop and want to give me a pep talk about how failure is the only way to learn what will be a win? When I took the time to look back on 2012 I didn’t have many check marks or things crossed off on my BIG goals list. In fact I can really only count 1 thing as “done”. You see I have become slightly paralyzed by a fear of failure. I am hopeful the damage is  ...
