Best of #FAILweek

Jason Markow After reading through all the #FAILweek submissions one thing is crystal clear: There are an impressive number of incredible bloggers and entrepreneurs truly grabbing life by the horns, giving it 100%, eliminating "fear" of failure, and taking action from what they have learned.
Below you will find a collection of some of the standout posts from bloggers across the web, but you should know upfront that narrowing down the standouts was incredibly difficult. There were truly so many great contributions. For a complete list of the bloggers who participated check out http://bit.ly/FAILweek, or pick up a free copy of the ebook FAIL(here) which will serve as the complete #FAILweek collection with an estimated release date in March.
Monday on Tt(h)B will wrap up #FAILweek with a special video post.

@shanemacsays crafted one of the best posts I have come across in quite a while. His monlogue of reacting to personal failures is (to borrow from @wordposts comment) poetic. Go. Read it... now.
@brucely Posted a truly unique post of attempting to import an African beer. His tale is gut wrenching, but the lessons he provides are incredibly valuable.
@BradfordShimp's #FAILweek contribution hit close was very similar to the failure posted here by Tt(h)B. The lessons he learned were insightful and optimistic.
@caligater approached #FAILweek from a refreshingly different angle. As a grad student she focused on the process of failing to create her first complete business plan. Laced with optimism and unique observations this post is well worth the read.
