About Jeremy Bloom:“I grew up in Loveland Colorado most of my life. I first saw the Olympics on TV when I was 10 years old and was struck by how incredible they were. I had been a skier since I was three years old and after seeing the Olympics is when I realized I could do something with that talent. I was also a football player and I told my parents at age 10 that I wanted to ski in the Olympics and I wanted to play in the NFL. They both looked at me and told me that I could do that if I really put my mind to it and attack my dreams. Through a lot of good luck and fortune I was able to live out both of those dreams. I competed in two Olympics for the United States in freestyle skiing and then went on to get drafted in the fifth round by the Philadelphia Eagles which I spent two seasons there. I was with the Pittsburgh Steelers before launching into my nonprofit and now running a venture back startup.My inspiration for writing this book came from my own personal experiences and also the observation of others. I grew up with some incredibly talented athletes and now I’m exposed to some wonderfully talented entrepreneurs and it’s been my observation in life that the inevitable setbacks that everybody encounters along their journey handles those moments a little bit differently. Along our journey we develop an ego and one of the things that an ego can do to be destructive to our dreams is over personalize the setbacks in our lives. I wanted to dive into this topic, talk to some of the most successful people, and share my journey in hopes of helping someone else accomplish their dreams.” – Jeremy BloomFor a detailed summary of Fueled By Failure according to Jeremy Bloom CLICK HERERelated Books:Performing Under Pressure by Hendrie Weisinger13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do by Amy MorinInstant Motivation by Chantal BurnsFor more advice, tips, and stories on entrepreneurship, join our community on Facebook and Twitter.
