Goal setting is an important part of finding success. Many times we are determined to make something happen and only look at one way of accomplishing that goal. When we fail, we throw our hands up and quit. But all successful people will tell you failure is many times a reason for their success.

Henry Ford went broke five times before creating the Ford Motor Company. Harland David Sanders, the man we know as Col. Sanders, was reportedly rejected 1,009 times before a restaurant accepted his secret chicken recipe. The rest is finger-licking good history. And one of my favorite stories involves Walt Disney. He was fired from a newspaper job because he "lacked imagination and had no good ideas." We all know what happened after that. Next week's Motivational Monday will be dedicated to Mr. Disney.
There are plenty more success stories who started off as failures. Abraham Lincoln, the Wright Brothers, Thomas Edison and even modern day successes like Jerry Seinfeld, Oprah and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson hit obstacles along the way. They kept moving forward and wouldn't accept failure. You shouldn't either.
If plan A doesn't work, remember, there are 25 more letters in the alphabet. Heck, if you go through to Z, restart with AA. You can reach your goals. Just remove the words "I can't" from your vocabulary.
