What do you do when life keeps knocking you down?
How do you keep going when rejection, burnout, or self-doubt begin to erase who you once were?
In Fail It Till You Make It, physician, musician, entrepreneur, and creative polymath Dr. Mel Ona shares a deeply honest and transformative journey from collapse to reinvention.
Rejected from medical school early in his path, Dr. Ona went on to earn three graduate degrees, become a board-certified gastroenterologist, and emerge as a nationally recognized medical innovator, including establishing the first office-based endoscopy suite in West O‘ahu, Hawai‘i and becoming the first gastroenterologist in Hawai‘i to use AI-assisted polyp detection.
But this book is not about credentials.
It’s about what happens when success alone is no longer enough.
With raw storytelling and practical insight, Dr. Ona reveals how failure, when faced honestly, can become the doorway to clarity, courage, and renewal.
In this book, you’ll discover how to:-
Break free from burnout and emotional exhaustion
-
Transform rejection into resilience
-
Reclaim neglected or long-forgotten passions
-
Rebuild confidence after failure
-
Heal emotionally while still pursuing excellence
-
Rediscover purpose beyond your job title
-
Create a life where success and joy can coexist
-
Embrace growth, even when it begins with failure
Fail It Till You Make It is an essential guide for professionals, creatives, and high-achievers who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or quietly disconnected from the life they worked so hard to build.
You don’t need permission to change.
You don’t have to pretend you’re fine.
You don’t have to hide behind your accomplishments.
You can rise—stronger, clearer, and more alive than ever.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.

The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
