The stakes of failure holding up your innovation? But as an entrepreneur/advisor, it's innovate or ... No worries, I've got you. If you want business progress, You must innovate. You must make change. And change has consequences. But, those consequences Don't need to be All or none. → A shift in perspective. → A change in approach. → And you can contain the beast. **Checkout the video**, I discuss ↳ A shift in perspective that ↳ Puts failures in a box. Because no innovation → no progress. From Bridging The Gap ,

I love this. The prospect of failure is so scary, but the worst outcome is to be paralyzed by this fear and resist much-needed change.

Yes to all of this John! I am currently reading Right Kind of Wrong: The Science of Failing Well by Amy Edmondson and not all failures are created equal. I am learning alot about how to think about failure, innovation and progress as a result. It's also why my husband I started our firm as hourly-only. We believe it's time to innovate BEYOND the AUM model to increase accessibility to independent, objective financial advice. It's been humbling to say the least because innovation is not instant. It's incremental.

I love the thought of I either win or I learn. For marketing it is different levels of risk versus investing clients' money. Great discussion John Prendergast
