Summary

"The Power of Setbacks" is an inspirational journey highlighting the author's struggles with cancer and how it unexpectedly led to an amazing new life. It’s all about the intersection of life and work, connecting with family, and redefining what really matters the most in life. "The Power of Setbacks" is filled with practical advice and insights on overcoming challenges, achieving your dreams, and creating your own success. Their journey began as a distraction. After being diagnosed with cancer, the authors turned to garage and estate sales as a way to distract them from their harsh reality. The sales brought smiles to their faces, kept their minds from wavering with doubt, and over the course of their travels, infused their lives (and their home) with new and exciting objects that carried historical and personal meaning. But as their house began to bust at its seams, they decided it was time to turn their collection into a business. The next few years were welcomed with sale after sale. And as they learned more, grew more, and dove deeper into the garage and estate sale world, they quickly realized they were onto something. And it was not just limited to garage sales. "The Power of Setbacks" is the story of their journey. But more importantly, it is a resource guide to build your own small business and then scale it to amazing heights, all while having fun during the process. Are you unhappy with your current job? Could you use supplementary income? Are you ready to make a change? Whatever the case may be, "The Power of Setbacks" is your handbook to create a new reality for you and your family.

    Do you know what the number one mistake most people make when it comes to goal setting is? 
    It's not knowing what they REALLY want. The thing is: If you don't know what you want, how will you know when you've got it? 
    Too often people set goals that are far too abstract – things like: 
    “I want to be successful” 
    “I want to be happy” 
    “I want to be rich” 
    The trouble is, there's no concrete definition of what successful/happy/rich is. 
    My definition of “successful” might not be the same as yours. The amount of money that would make me feel as though I were “rich” could be more (or less) than would make you feel the same way. 
    So it's important that you have a SPECIFIC goal. 
    For example if you want to be “successful”, how do you define that? Do you want to be successful in business, in love, in sports? 
    Instead of saying “I want to be successful”, first define your goal as “I want to be successful in business” - if that's the sort of success you're after. 
    But I would narrow that down even further… 
    Something like: “I want to own a business with a one million dollar turnover and at least three full-time employees before the end of next year.” 
    Now you have something specific to aim for. You know EXACTLY what you want to achieve, and you've established a time-frame in which to achieve it. You can then break this large goal down into smaller goals to make your main goal more achievable. 
    This video course has been converted into an audio course that you can listen to any time, designed to help clarify your goals, focus your energy and radically change your life.

    Sharing stories and inspiring lessons on leadership and design, one architect explains how he helped build one of the world’s most successful firms Founded on July 4, 1976, Kohn Pedersen Fox quickly became a darling of the press with groundbreaking buildings such as the headquarters for the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in New York, 333 Wacker Drive in Chicago, the Procter & Gamble headquarters in Cincinnati, and the World Bank Headquarters in Washington, DC. By the early 1990s, when most firms in the U.S. were struggling to survive a major recession, KPF was busy with significant buildings in London, Germany, Canada, Japan, Korea, and Indonesia—pioneering a model of global practice that has influenced architecture, design, and creative-services firms ever since. Like any other business, though, KPF has stumbled along the way and wrestled with crises. But through it all, it has remained innovative in an ever-changing field that often favors the newest star on the horizon. Now in its fifth decade, the firm has shaped skylines and cities around the world with iconic buildings such as the World Financial Center in Shanghai, the International Commerce Centre in Hong Kong, the DZ Bank Tower in Frankfurt, the Heron Tower in London, and Hudson Yards in New York. Forthright and engaging, Kohn examines both award-winning achievements and missteps in his 50-year career in architecture. In the process, he shows how his firm, KPF, has helped change the buildings and cities where we live, work, learn, and play.“A must-read for all of those who love cities and the buildings and skylines that define them.” —Stephen M. Ross, chairman and founder of The Related Companies
