“I promise you that if you can cling on just that little bit longer, if you can find the strength to keep on going to find out what happens next, your failure will make you see the world differently and will present you with opportunities you never could have anticipated. You have not lost anything through your failure. What you have lost was not for you. Shedding yourself of the things that are not for you actually brings you closer to what is.” Happy book launch day Elizabeth Day for Failosophy 👏🎉 https://lnkd.in/gnsPdV3 #founder #author #podcast #failure …see more

"Some of the greatest minds I have ever known have been marred by genius. What some in society perceive to be different is often met with ridicule, scorn or suspicion and, yet, this sort of treatment is what heightens eccentricities to the point at which all genius explodes or fades." https://lnkd.in/ggUW6h4 #founder #entrepreneur #innovator# #inventors #innovation …see more

“Sometimes you have to give up. Sometimes knowing when to give up, when to try something else, is genius. Giving up doesn’t mean stopping. Don’t ever stop.”

I have interviewed over 300 founders and innovators and found the general rule of thumb has been that extraordinary effort is required in order to get extraordinary results. Not every founder/innovator I spoke to became successful in all the ways they imagined — for different reasons — but those who went above and beyond because of their passion, were far more likely to get successful results. Why? Because the extra effort wasn’t just down to extra hours and it often didn’t feel like work. https://lnkd.in/giK2jkm #founder #startup #entrepreneurship …see more

My career has mostly been made up of failures and successes. No path is very straightforward.
