Summary

Zig Ziglar shares the number one reason why most people don’t set goals. If you’re afraid of failing, keep in mind what John Maxwell said earlier this week: you’ve gotta keep success and failure together. You can’t have one without the other. Failure means nothing about you as a person; it’s part of the process.
