A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
If you’re in need of inspiration and actions to get you through the inevitable failures in business, and life, this book hits the mark. Jeremy recounts his journey from athletics to entrepreneurship with humility, sharing the backstory behind his very public defeats, and more importantly, revealing priceless lessons in competing for success. If you compete at anything—sports, business, or life—you need this book.—Scott Blackmun, United States Olympic Committee CEO
Jeremy has emerged stronger from failures in his life and is truly the embodiment of positive energy in everything he does. In these pages Jeremy will show you how to move forward in business and in life without letting the disappointments get in your way.
—David Karnstedt, former Adobe Systems, Inc. SVP of media and advertising solutions
Jeremy believes in possibility rather than limits. What stops most of us is our fear of failure, not failure itself. The dread of losing keeps us from the bold pursuits that create success. Jeremy, on the other hand, gets excited about an idea and pursues it with a fearless passion. What could you do if you didn’t limit yourself from the start? Jeremy Bloom shows us how to focus on what’s possible and just go for it!
—Jillaina Wachendorf, Wish of a Lifetime CEO

The cure for the modern business and self help culture in which all the obstacles are hidden or downplayed and the reader is left feeling hopeless. Finally there is someone who isn't afraid to say, "You will fail, here's what to do when - not if - it happens".
Darren I, Media/Journalist
You can do it. Reach for the goal and succeed. Change your failures to wins. Hollow words or insightful commentary?
This is one of those book genres that you will either love, hate or be supremely indifferent to. A former U.S. Olympian and NFL player does good in business, becomes a CEO and philanthropist and writes his tablets of stone for the enlightenment of the public at large.
To this reviewer, at least, it did not feel to be a gold medal winner, yet equally it was not the equivalent of this reviewer running the 1500 metres race (i.e. laughably poor). If you can establish a connection with it, it might work for you, gaining benefit from the author’s coaching and guidance and seeing how to bounce back after defeat and motivate yourself to learn from past mistakes and move forward.
As you may expect, the book starts with the author’s own story and a journey through his failure and recovery before moving onto the self-help specifics of how not to let defeat beat you, how to define and work around failure and how to reprogramme your ego, develop and implement your own plan for success. Reading through it didn’t feel to be a revolution or something that will shake the world, it merely being a recap of what is fairly common sense. In the mind of those who need it, perhaps it will be different. It is not an expensive book, in any case, so even if you buy it on spec and get something out of it, maybe it won’t be the end of the world.
