Being brave enough to risk failure is a

NON NEGOTIABLE REQUIREMENT

for success in any endeavor

Failure is not an option....It’s required.

Brave Enough To Fail is an organization that inspires and motivates High School and College students to reach out for success by understanding and implementing options that are available to them.

Every student trying to find and understand success, has probably already faced a failure or an obstacle that's weakened their resolve. If they haven’t yet, They are going to.

Finding the motivation to continue and work past these setbacks can be difficult, especially if you lack confidence in your ideas or abilities.

Some would argue that overcoming these challenges is a simple matter of gaining more confidence, or gritting your teeth and powering through them.

While this level of tenacity can help you move past your core challenges, it won't help you feel more fulfilled in your work, and it won't motivate you for the future. Instead, it's likely to fatigue you, making you more vulnerable to the negative effects of future obstacles.

So, what is your option? Brave Enough To Fail guides students to have the courage to follow their dreams and see their education as a way to get where they want to be.

BETF encourages students to achieve their real dreams through courage and persistence, while working with the following attributes that are essential for success in any field of endeavor:

* Commitment

Resilience
* Self Discipline
Focus
* Ambition

Brave Enough To Fail helps students set the framework to succeed. We assist you (the student) in finding the path through unexplored territory.

Commitment : to one’s self: Exploring the correct mind set, Understanding how to decide and agree to do something

Resilience: The art of bouncing back, rebounding, of being flexible.

Self-Discipline: The Pathway to Self-Discipline. Considering that so much of what we do on a daily basis is habit-driven.Developing the right habits will help to instill the right amount of discipline into our lives. Start with education.

Focus: It's important to constantly be improving yourself because progress leads to fulfillment, So focus, by concentrating your attention or energy on something.

Ambition: Is the desire to achieve something, or to succeed,

accompanied with motivation, determination and an internal drive.

Ambition describes those that achieve success based on their inner desire to do so and their belief in themselves.

Brave Enough to Fail coaches students to understand “who they are, Where they are going and how they are going to get there” They will understand and come to grips with “They are the boss of them-self’s “ How they are perceived by their own market place will depend upon each student, no-one else.

Uniqueness or the quality of one of a kind is just one principle that BETF will emphasize as a cornerstone for success.

You, the student, belong to a marketplace, whether you like it, understand it, or have a knowledge of what it is. You have left impressions upon people, based on your behavior, your communications, your body language, your appearance and a number of other factors. This impression leaves a perception of who you are with people, whether you like it or not. The question now becomes “Is this the way or understanding you wish to leave with people” (your marketplace). Brave Enough To Fail guides students in navigating through these confusing waters.
