No success is free
If you are innovating, you are going to fail – period.
Anyone promising innovation without pain is selling fools gold.
Amazon is the biggest, via the market cap, company in the world. They have the concept of “Day One,” meaning they are always trying things.
Sure, this meant the Amazon Fire, Destinations, and Amazon Wallet. All disasters.
It also meant AWS and Amazon Prime. If they didn’t find themselves willing to go through the pain of innovation, then they would still just sell books.
In the spirit of that, ask yourself two things:
- How can I innovate now?
- How do I mitigate the pain of innovation so I can innovate again tomorrow?
