I have a good friend that just closed the doors on her business yesterday. She is down and we've been talking quite a bit about what worked and what didn't.

I'd like to get her a book that tells the story of a businessman or woman who failed at a business, but later took what they learned and started anopther successful business.

Can anyone recommend a good book?

Thanks,
