# Daily Inspiration: “The cool thing about innovation is that it can work even if you fail!”

*“The cool thing about innovation is that it can work even if you fail!”* – Futurist Jim Carroll

Know this one thing: failure is not necessarily a bad thing.

If you view it as an opportunity for learning and ‘getting it right the next time,’ go at things with this mindset:

- it’s good to fail fast

- those who fail fast learn faster as a result of that failure

- those who learn faster from faster failure master faster innovation!

- faster innovation from faster failure is often the context for success in our faster future!

- our faster future is being defined by those who’ve mastered the concept of fast failure!

As the mantra goes – fail early, fail often, fail fast!
