Fortune Favors the Bold
Written by the founder of SmarterComics.
Fortune Favors the Bold explains that rarely-thought-about element so essential to achieving anything: the act of actually stepping up to the plate. Boldness is key, but it’s something most self-help books forget to explore. Without boldness, a goal is only a pipedream, and ambition vegetates into regret.
If you want insight that launches you into action, this is the guide book. Platitude-free, it genuinely examines the role of boldness in achieving anything worthwhile and lays out the roadmap for becoming an achiever.
Filled with amusing illustrations but crammed with serious, rarely-seen quotes from some of the world’s most successful people, this comic makes a mark on the consciousness. You’ll think about it for days, and return to it to renew yourself.
Boldness won’t guarantee success, but lack of boldness guarantees failure, says Franco. Boldness is the missing ingredient in most people’s lives.
