Publisher's Summary
In 2015, along with many other business leaders, I founded The Scotland Summit. It was a great event that captured and shared ideas through strategic talks with the audience. My presentation titled, "Can We Fly", explored the entrepreneurial lifestyle and with dedication we can push onward to innovation. Due to the great response from the presentation and those in attendance, I decided to write a book to dive further into the topic.
Are you an entrepreneur, business leader, or someone looking to improve your own development?
If so, this short book, packed with incites, will teach you how to grow through your own failures with perseverance and the entrepreneurial spirit. This book will take you through some of my personal experiences and the secret to overcoming negativity.
Through the journey in this book, we look at the Wright Brothers early on, establishing the tone for the rest of the story. We then dive into a more modern story of overcoming obstacles. We discuss the importance of passionate people, surrounding ourselves with them, and becoming one yourself.
This book establishes methods to enhance perseverance in business by helping the listener understand how to overcome negativity, the methods to improving everything, how to get past the cants, and embracing risk.
We look at our society in this book as well and relate human knowledge to Ray Kurzweil's Theory of Accelerating Returns, and we determine that if we properly pass information, experiences, and discoveries down to the next generation, humans can see exponential growth in knowledge and innovation.

What if the smartest people in the world understand something that the rest of us don't? (They do.) What if they know that in order to achieve success, they will sometimes have to do things that others may initially perceive as stupid? The fact of the matter is that the smartest people in the world don't run from stupid, they lean into it (in a smart way). In The Power of Starting Something Stupid, Richie Norton redefines stupid as we know it, demonstrating that life-changing ideas are often tragically mislabeled stupid.

Over the past three decades, professor Larry Smith has become something of a "career whisperer" for his students at the University of Waterloo. Each year, millions of talented college students graduate with little or no real sense of what their next steps will be, yet they are determined not to settle for so-so careers; they are looking for great careers. Smith points out that only a few fortunate souls are born knowing exactly what they want to pursue in life. The rest of us have to stop making excuses and start asking ourselves tough questions about achieving our goals.

Ryan Babineaux and John Krumboltz have come to a compelling conclusion: happy and successful people tend to spend less time planning and more time acting. They get out into the world, try new things, and make mistakes, and in doing so, they benefit from unexpected experiences and opportunities. Drawing on the authors’ research in human development and innovation, Fail Fast, Fail Often shows readers how to allow their enthusiasm to guide them, to act boldly, and to leverage their strengths - even if they are terrified of failure.

Wisdom without passion is a Ferrari with no gas in the tank. Passion without wisdom is a tricked-out 57 Chevy with no steering wheel. Baby Boomers have relied on wisdom to pave the way to success. Education, knowledge, investing strategies, 401(k)s, real estate leverage, and carefully contrived career paths were expected to lead to success in the golden years. Seeing the overall failure of that formulaic approach to life, younger generations today have relied on passion as the guiding principle for their version of success.
