About this listen

Turn Setbacks Into Scale, Chaos Into Clarity, and Failure Into Fuel

Every setback you survive sharpens the leader you become. Failure doesn't block your path — it builds it. If you’re sick of feel-good fluff, hustle bro hype, or highlight-reel BS that skips the part where it all falls apart, this book is your antidote.

Fail Hard, Win Big isn’t a motivational fairy tale. It’s a raw, field-tested blueprint from a founder who’s launched 30 companies, crashed in 20 of them, and still walked away with millions. It’s about turning losses into leverage, setbacks into systems, and failure into the fuel that propels you beyond everyone who played it safe.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • Why your WHY is non-negotiable—and how it makes you unbreakable
  • How to build a business that runs without breaking you
  • Why resilience is a revenue strategy—and how to weaponize it
  • The truth about mentors, margins, software, and scale
  • The real reason your first (or fifth) business didn’t work
  • You’ll also get the 10 Brutal Truths no entrepreneur wants to admit… but every successful one has faced.

This isn’t just a book. It’s a survival manual for the bold.

Whether you’re launching, scaling, restarting, or just trying not to quit—Fail Hard, Win Big will give you the mindset, tools, and mental armor to build something that actually lasts. Because the goal isn’t to avoid failure, it’s to use it to become unstoppable.

About the Author: Steve Taplin is a serial entrepreneur, tech visionary, and CEO of Sonatafy Technology, a top-tier custom software development firm. He’s launched over 30 companies—crashed in 20, thrived in 10—and turned hard-earned lessons into multi-million-dollar wins. A regular contributor to Forbes and Entrepreneur Magazine, Steve writes about leadership, innovation, and the unfiltered truth of building businesses from the ground up.

Fail Hard, Win Big is Steve's blueprint for turning setbacks into strategy—and failure into your ultimate superpower.
