If you’re doing something that’s never been done before, how can you make the perfect plan? Whether it’s an art concept, a picture, a business model, or a meal: you can’t. Innovation, by definition, has no road map. Important: the same goes with creativity. That’s why I like people who “do” and fail, a helluva lot more than people who just sit around and talk about it.
Randy Nelson of Pixar says it more eloquently. “The core skill of innovators is error recovery, not failure avoidance.”
I think this–and many additional ideas in this video–are brilliant.

Henry Ford once said, “Think you can or think you can’t, either way you will be right.”
Its something I remind myself of often. Branching out full time in the middle of a recession has earned me more than a few you have to be crazy looks and comments from people. When it seems nothing is working and the phone is quite I pull my books, quotes, speeches and video’s off the shelf and remind myself not to quit.
Here are my favorites:
“Make no your vitamin” Les Brown
“People’s greatest success often times comes after their greatest failure.” Napoleon Hill
“Let the end of life find you climbing up a new mountain, not sliding down an old one.” Jim Rohn
Don’t know were you get all this things, but keep ’em coming 🙂 They not only apply to creativity but also to life itself. Thanks Chase!
