Publisher's Summary

Learn how to get back up and recover fast.

The Art of Getting Back Up is about empowering you to face the future, whatever lies ahead. Here is where you will learn the steps and master the skills of getting back up when life knocks you down.

Like most people, we spend our whole lives trying to avoid pain. Going day to day with one overriding driver: Avoiding pain and failure. The problem with that is that if you spend your whole life trying to avoid pain and failure, then you make the unconscious decision to play small.

Do you choose to play it safe? 

Do you believe that a great life is a life without pain, a life of standing on the shore safe from the storms? 

You can journey through life trying to avoid failure, but at what cost?

What you hold in your hands is not theory; this is a road map, a guide, a system to getting back on your feet. You have a choice: be an accidental tourist on this journey of life, or to be a goal-oriented traveler with the direction and the tools to experience life with intent and purpose. 

On this journey of life, there will be potholes. But knowing when you encountered a pothole/failure, you were able to get back up, would that change how you approach the run of life? If you knew, I"f I fall, I have a strategy to get back up, and it won't be the end of my world," wouldn’t you then think, "I can play all in"?

It is time to give yourself freedom from past hurts and failure, so you can move forward towards your goals. Today, right now, The Art of Getting Back Up can help you begin to find the confidence to tackle challenges head-on with the right tools in place to recover when you fall.

If you’re serious about learning how to get back up, about being your own hero, about stepping up instead of stepping out, this book is for you.

Bring commanding confidence to your work, to your venture, to your purpose. Feel the power, surge forward with resilience, knowing that you will get knocked down in this life, but you will never stay down. You have the unstoppable power of persistence. You embrace the optimism and challenge of always getting back up. You can enjoy the journey of a fully-lived life.

Critic Reviews

“I wish I had Wayne Salmans, and this book, in my life a lot sooner. It would have helped me deal with those downturns and dark times more confidently and quickly. His wisdom is both practical and profound. As a person who has been through the “valley of the shadow,” I encourage you to absorb its wisdom before you really need it.” (Dave Jenks, New York Times best-selling author)
