Why Do Serial Innovators Succeed While Others Fail?

Watch this Exclusive Interview with Author Larry Osborne

Sometimes things just don’t go exactly as planned. Sometimes they succeed and sometimes they flat out fail! But, failures don’t have to mean the end of the world. We chatted with Pastor Larry Osborne, author of Innovation’s Dirty Little Secret, live about innovation and the Top 3 Reasons Why Serial Innovators Succeed.

And, we had malfunctions, internet issues, a false start, frozen cameras, misspellings (Check out Larry’s hashtag “#InnonationSecrets”), and mistakes galore — including going live accidentally ahead of time! How ironic!

“You’re never a loser when your experiment fails… but when your new over-sold initiative fails, you’re a loser and you lose credibility. When you say ‘We’re going to try something for a period of time’ and it doesn’t work and you get out of it, everybody applauds you for having tried things… Plus, you’ve learned one more thing that doesn’t work!”
