Failures and Success

March 21st, 2011 - by Robby Slaughter

It’s no surprise that social networking expert Chris Brogran believes in the power of failure. He’s even quoted on the topic in Failure: The Secret to Success.

In a one post, Brogan outlined his view:

Maybe we need to send Chris Brogan a copy of Failure.
