But it wasn’t an easy journey. The book was turned down by publishers 144 times until one publisher finally agreed to take it on.
Through all those failures, it was Wisdom received from Ross Perot that became the backbone of their future success. That within each rejection lies an opportunity to learn, refine, and improve your story and the way you tell it. That could be a guiding mantra for any of us.
