Jim Harshaw is a speaker, consultant and former Division I All American wrestler. He grew up in a blue-collar home therefore learning the value of hard work early on. Having spent his life surrounded by Olympians, CEO’s and millionaires he has been able to observe their struggles and failures on the way to success.

Jim believes we need to understand that every success story includes crushing failure. Steve Jobs, Michael Jordan, Phil Knight, Elon Musk have all failed.

When you realize this, you’ll see that failure isn’t the opposite of success. It’s a necessary step on the path to success. But we live in a society that tells us that when we fail it means we’re not good enough or not smart enough or not capable enough. When people fail, they lower their goals and settle for less.

In this interview we discuss failure and how to use it as a path to success. We discuss Jim’s personal story that lead him to doing the work he does today. Jim shares his blueprint for success model to help get us there. Enjoy!
