How to Fail
at Business & Life…
Stuff You Need… To Succeed
A candid, often funny, always practical field guide from Dr. Michael V. Wilkins, Sr. Inside, you'll find the patterns that quietly sabotage businesses and relationships — and the disciplines that build something worth keeping.
Inside the book
Failure as a Learning Tool
Why setbacks — not wins — are what actually build self-awareness, resilience, and the lessons that shape lasting success.
Love, Marriage & Real Connection
The honest patterns behind lonely relationships and strong ones: authenticity, vulnerability, repair, and the daily habits that keep love alive.
Parenting & Building Community
Raising resilient kids as a gardener, not a sculptor — and curating friendships and circles built on trust, depth, and shared purpose.
How to Fail at Business (and How Not To)
The quiet ways founders sabotage themselves — and the problem-first, validated, financially honest approach that scales instead.
Leadership Without the Ego
Radical accountability, clarity, and psychological safety — and the ego-driven habits that quietly dismantle teams.
Money, Health & the Mind-Body Connection
Pay yourself first, define 'enough,' protect sleep and recovery, and stop wearing busyness as identity.
Growth Mindset & Resilient Identity
See yourself as a work in progress: build an advisory circle, reflect deliberately, and turn every setback into a pivot.
The Practical Failure Toolkit
Failure autopsies, pre-mortems, cognitive reframing, resilience rituals, and decision matrices to make recovery a system, not a hope.
Other books by Dr. Wilkins
