Bounce!: Failure, Resiliency, and Confidence to Achieve Your Next Great Success is a book about confidence. It looks at how you as an entrepreneur can develop the confidence that will prepare you for the inevitable success and failure that you’ll encounter on your entrepreneurial journey.

In Bounce Barry Moltz talks about what he describes as the "building bands" required for true business confidence, the ten bands are:

• Humility.
• Face the fear of failure.
• In failure, give up the shame.
• Failure gives a choice.
• More effective risk taking.
• Process trumps outcome.
• Setting patient goals for success and failure.
• A measurement system of our own.
• Value action.

Moltz is well positioned to talk about bouncing back. He has started three businesses. One failed, one he was kicked out of and the last he sold. He is now a regular speaker on entrepreneurship and is involved in angel investments. In his professional biography he describes himself saying:

Barry Moltz has founded and run small businesses with a great deal of success and failure for more than 15 years.

It’s his experience of this success and failure that he shares in this book. If the prospect of failing in business bothers you, or you’re recently suffered a failure then reading this book will help you put it into perspective. In short he suggests that success and failure are both natural parts of the business cycle and as an entrepreneur you’ll experience both, the trick is to bounce onwards.
