Creativity Begins with Little Bets

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.” -- Alan Kay

“...Unleashing our creativity, however deeply it’s hidden, begins with little bets...concrete actions taken to discover, test, and develop ideas that are achievable and affordable...”

"Becoming more comfortable with failure, and coming to view false starts and mistakes as opportunities opens us up creatively."

"Most entrepreneurs launch their companies without an ingenious idea and proceed to discover one, or if they do start with what they think is an ingenious idea, they quickly discover that it’s flawed and then rapidly adapt."
