Ever wonder how successful people overcome failure? It’s not magic—it’s in the books they read. Hey, I’m Lonnell, your Failure into Success Coach, and today I’m sharing the top 5 books that taught me how to turn failure into success. I’m a big reader—I try to read 30 books a year, and it’s made a huge difference in how I approach failure and success. In this video, I’ll break down the top 5 books that didn’t just change my life but transformed my mindset on failure and success. Books Mentioned:
1. The Magic of Thinking Big by David J. Schwartz (https://www.amazon.com/Magic-Thinking...) - This book taught me that mindset is everything. If you don’t believe big, you’ll never achieve big.
2. Relentless by @W1NNING - Grover trained Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and Dwyane Wade. His book showed me the brutal, honest truth about the discipline it takes to win.
3. The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin - Baldwin’s reflections on race, class, and life changed how I see the world from the perspective of an African American man in the 21st century.
4. 10X is Easier Than 2X by @imdansullivan Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy - This book isn’t just about working harder; it’s about thinking bigger. It’s like a supercharge for your mindset.
5. Three Feet from Gold by Dan Miller - The lesson? Don’t quit too soon. You might be closer to success than you think.
