Story
There are four characters in every story: the victim, the villain, the hero, and the guide. These four characters live inside us. If we play the victim, we’re doomed to fail. If we play the villain, we will not create genuine bonds. But if we play the hero or guide, our lives will flourish. The hard part is being self-aware enough to know which character we are playing. In this book, Donald will use his own experiences to help you recognize if the character you are currently surfacing is helping you experience a life of meaning.

In his early 20s, Curtis Jackson, known as 50 Cent, rose to the heights of fame and power in the cutthroat music business. A decade ago, the multi-platinum selling rap artist decided to pivot. His ability to adapt to change was demonstrated when he became the executive producer and star of Power, a high-octane, gripping crime drama centered around a drug kingpin's family. The series quickly became "appointment" television, leading to Jackson inking a four-year, $150 million contract with the Starz network - the most lucrative deal in premium cable history.

Helpful book!
This book taught me how to view failures - that is, as part of the success journey. It helped me to realise that one should not internalise failures but learn from them, accept responsibility where necessary, and move forward.
The examples of real life persons who would have moved beyond repeated failures was also inspiring. The chapter on the top ten reasons people fail was also insightful.
Fail early, fail often, fail forward...
A recommended read!

Excellent book for entrepreneurs and leaders
I listened to this book after taking a course on how to move my nonprofit forward. Anyone in a position of leadership should read this book because, as the great Peter Parker once said, with great power comes great responsibility. And with great responsibility comes the opportunity to fail and make mistakes. The question you have to ask yourself is how will you respond when you fail? Will you allow that failure to cause you to quit and walk away from your dream or will you use it as momentum to pick yourself up, change what needs to be changed and continue to move forward? I have always been a firm believer in self-awareness and self-improvement. In order to be a successful leader, we have to be able to look inward and be willing to be an agent of change and that change usually starts within us. This book beautifully outlines how to fail forward... how to see failure as success as you pursue your purpose. The book was engaging and relatable and I never lost interest; not to the very end! I would recommend this book to anyone who is pursuing a dream or who is afraid of stepping out in faith because of the fear of failure... the fear of "what if..."
By shifting your mindset and looking at your failures as a successful part of the journey towards achieving your purpose in life, then it makes it easier to take that leap into the unknown. As John Maxwell points out in the book, set yourself a failure quota. Look forward to your mistakes, knowing that you will learn and grow from them!

Brilliant, specific and concrete
Another great book from John Maxwell. Great layout: steps are easy to follow, stories are relevant and illustrative.
The only issue with the audio book is that the reader doesn't always make breaks between different thought blocks, which can be confusing as you aren't always sure if it's the same thought that continues or a new one.
But other than that - great, practical steps for taking control of your life. Definitely reading this again soon.
