About this project

The Story

Have you ever failed at something important to you? How many obstacles have stood in your way and how many doors have closed on you? Author, inventor and entrepreneur Lindsey Rietzsch understands this topic all too well. She has had some extraordinary experiences in the past few years and opportunities that many people dream about. She has also seen those opportunities disappear as quickly as they came. After several dream come true opportunities presented themselves, raised her hopes and then disappeared, Lindsey began to wonder where these closed doors would lead.

One day that answer came. Lindsey knew why she had had these experiences and the lesson was profound. So excited about the message she had to share she knew if she could go back in time, she wouldn't change a thing. 

About the Book

Failure often discourages us from achieving our dreams. In reality, failure is also what can help us be successful and find happiness. Successful Failures will inspire you to seek after your dreams and change how you define success. It's a message about not giving up and finding success amongst failure. Successful Failures sheds light on the Divine hand that assists in the outcomes of our dreams and goals. It will change your life!

About the Author

Lindsey Rietzsch is the author of How to Date Your Spouse. She has worked hard at promoting happy marriages nationwide and has shared her message on radio and TV. She is also a blogger, motivational speaker as well as inventor and owner of Hydroheel - a pedicure treatment that instantly heals dry, cracked feet.

The Dilemma

Lindsey has always self-funded her projects and gives much of her proceeds to helping other people. Because she is a full time mom, she is not able to put the time needed into raising funds needed to publish and promote this book.

How You Can Help

$3,000 is needed to print, publish and distribute the book by April-May. Anything extra will be greatly appreciated and used to help promote the message and book. For those of you who have ever published a book, you know that it is seldom profitable unless it becomes a New York Times Best Seller. All money to promote comes out of your own pocket. With all that Lindsey has put into her other projects, and being a stay at home mom, there is little money available to launch this project which she feels is most important and top priority.

We appreciate your help! Your pledge will help send a powerful message to those who have given up on their goals, dreams, relationships, themselves or life! It is Lindsey's hope that this book will uplift and inspire those who are discouraged and need a reason to keep moving forward! Successful Failures will change lives!
