A Few of the Brands Cornelius Crowell Have Worked With

What if failing wasn't the thing holding you back…

but the very thing that could move you forward?

Most people don’t miss out on success because they lack talent, they miss out because they allow fear of failure to stop them before they ever begin.

Why Most People

Never Reach Their Full Potential

We’ve been taught that success should look perfect.

  • Set the right goals.
  • Create the perfect plan.
  • Execute flawlessly.

But real success doesn’t work that way. Every successful person has experienced setbacks, mistakes, rejection, and moments when everything seemed to fall apart.

Those challenges aren’t exceptions to the journey, they’re an essential part of it.

The difference isn’t that successful people avoided failure; it’s that they learned how to use it.

They understood that failure isn’t the end of the road but an opportunity to learn, adapt, and grow stronger with every experience.

Success isn’t about having a perfect journey.

It belongs to people who keep moving forward, even when things don’t go according to plan, because they know that persistence and resilience are what ultimately turn setbacks into success.

What People Are Saying

About the failing advantage book

I found this book to be exceptionally informative! To take a defining word such as fail, and reshape it into a simple idea is a gift. Cornelius not only shared his failures but also showed how his strategy has allowed him to experience success in those areas. His ability to differentiate failure, and failing demystified the fear surrounding the word. I feel more confident now that I have strategies in place to better prepare me as I set forth towards achieving my goals!
- Maurice Crowell
After reading The Failing Advantage, I began looking at my own life differently. Cornelius's story helped me see my setbacks in a new light, gave me the confidence to move forward, and reminded me that it's never too late to pursue my dreams.
— Jan Upshaw

- Troy McClain
I would like to say that this book helped me to realize that failure is good for you if you don't give up , when we learned from our failures it helps us to attain the goal and make the dream a reality for even though we at times fall short, but we must continue to plan with our ending in mind, the failing Advantage is because it is the failure that helps us to advance in achieving the goal we set for ourselves.
- Cassandra Johnson
That is exactly the way it should be! It should be done from the heart. Remember, a part of learning in failing is what is needed or useful for a better US.... God will always link us up with those who not just talk about it but will be about it. He is guiding your ministry in the right direction.
– Dr. Angela Jeffery
Cornelius opens with an honest account of the struggles he has overcome, showing how setbacks can become stepping stones. The Failing Advantage redefines the relationship between success and failing, teaching that failing is not the opposite of success but a valuable source of experience. Through practical concepts, strategies, and techniques, the book inspires readers to keep pursuing their dreams, using setbacks as tools for growth rather than obstacles. It is a motivating read for anyone determined to build a better life, reminding us that failing is part of the journey, giving up is the only true failure.
