You did everything right. You got the degree, built the career, earned the approval. So why does success feel like a trap? You are not broken. You are just building someone else's dream. Fail Forward is for the professional who senses there is something more, the aspiring entrepreneur who keeps talking herself out of taking the leap, and anyone who has let the fear of failure keep them stuck in a life that looks good on paper but feels empty in practice. Through honest, unfiltered storytelling, this book reframes failure as feedback and shows you how to take radical ownership of your results, build confidence through action instead of waiting for permission, and step outside comfort zones that have quietly become prisons. Tiffany B. Burrus is not a Silicon Valley founder or a celebrity CEO. She is a former perfectionist people-pleaser who walked away from a conventional career, stumbled into sales, and built a life on her own terms, one rejection at a time. The life you want is on the other side of the fear you are avoiding. This book will show you how to stop running from failure and start using it as fuel.
