Huffington’s second book was rejected by 36 publishers. And when she ran for California governor in 2003, she received just 0.55% of the vote.
It’s pretty clear now that Huffington learned from her failures. In a 2010 interview with SUCCESS magazine, she said raising campaign funds showed her “the power of the Internet.”
The incredible success of The Huffington Post is proof of that. Oh, and she’s now published 13 books.
