Frequently Asked Questions
What can Abraham Lincoln teach us?
Abraham Lincoln said that he was slow to learn, but quick to forget.
He knew how important it was to keep learning because he understood that there would come a time when he would need to unlearn old habits and embrace new ones.
This is true for our businesses as well. No matter how hard we plan for success there will be times where we run into roadblocks that cause us to get stuck in a rut.
It's important to keep learning and growing. We must never stop learning, even after reaching the top of our success.
Lincoln had the right attitude. He knew that he could improve his business' effectiveness, but he couldn’t stop learning.
There are two types entrepreneurs. Those who stay busy and those who stay smart.
Those who stay busy focus solely on growing their business. They are involved in marketing strategies, product development, customer support, and other tasks every day.
They may feel accomplished, but they are often missing the mark. Unless these entrepreneurs are also focused on staying smarter, they won't achieve sustainable growth.
What makes successful entrepreneurs different from average entrepreneurs? Ability to quickly adapt to changing situations.
Successful entrepreneurs are always looking for ways to improve the products and services they offer when faced with difficulties.
However, most entrepreneurs stick to old-fashioned methods that no longer work. They don't want to change until the business goes under.
You must be able to master both self-reflection and adaptation in order to succeed.
What are the three most important lessons from history?
There are many examples in history of how we can learn from our failures. These lessons can be applied to the challenges of business today and turned into opportunities for growth.
We have learned from the past that there are always other ways to do things. There is always someone out there who thinks outside the box and takes risks that make them stand apart.
History also shows that sometimes it's the underdogs who triumph. So when you feel stuck, overwhelmed, or even lost, look back to those times when the underdog won.
Look back on the past and learn from it. Learn from the successes and failures of others.
Use these lessons to help you improve your success rate.
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
As much as we would love to live in an ideal world where everyone learns from history, there is nothing more valuable than learning from our mistakes.
It's not better to try something wrong than to learn how to do it right.
The real error is not making sure you do it correctly the first attempt.
As long you keep making adjustments, you'll eventually see the reason you made them.
You might even discover that you could have done it better the first time.
However, that doesn't mean you should not try again. It means you've learned a lot.
It may not always be possible to avoid making errors, but it is possible minimize them. And that's the difference between success and failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. These are opportunities to learn.
Thomas Edison experienced exactly that. He failed many times before inventing the light bulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his design.
Over time, he created the most popular type of lighting available today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your mistakes. Please take advantage of them.
Then, try again.
What can our mistakes teach?
Don't be too concerned about making a mistake. It's an opportunity to learn. It will teach you something. You can also learn from your mistakes. So don't sweat the small stuff because there's nothing wrong with making mistakes. We all make mistakes.
Even though you may feel embarrassed after making a mistake it doesn't mean you have to feel guilty. How you handle your mistakes is what matters most. If you let them bother you, they'll eat away at you inside. But if you view them as opportunities for growth, you'll come out stronger on the other side.
Recognize and move on from a mistake. This is the best way to learn from it. Focus on the next step and don't dwell on the past. Keep moving.
Don't be discouraged by your failures. Instead, find ways to improve. Learn from your mistakes, and you will be a better person tomorrow.
Successful Inventions Made from Accident
Inventors make mistakes. How we deal with those mistakes is what determines whether our inventions succeed or fail.
The fact is there are no accidents when it comes to invention. Each invention was created intentionally. An accidental invention is not possible.
An invention is a deliberate act. It is an intentional decision to create something. It solves a problem. A solution that improves the quality of life.
To be successful inventing is to understand that nothing happens by chance. Instead of trying to avoid mistakes, learn from them.
Invention is not easy. Invention requires hard work and persistence. It's not a quick fix. It takes time.
This means that you need to spend lots of time thinking about solutions and ideas. What is it that people are most concerned about? What do they really need?
These are questions that you should ask yourself. These questions will help to determine the type of product and service that you should be developing next.
You must let go of all preconceived notions. You should not make assumptions about the world's needs or wants. Listen carefully to potential and actual customers.
You have to learn what they want. They are not what they say they want.
Once you understand what they want, you must devise a method to deliver it. Here's where invention really begins.

How To
Accidental discoveries lead to the discovery of penicillin
How did penicillin develop?
Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin accidentally after noticing mold growth on bacteria cultures he left out. He believed that the mold could kill the bacteria so he searched for something to destroy it.
Penicillin was able to kill the mold. Then he discovered that it could also be used to fight bacteria-related infections. The discovery of penicillin was one of the most significant medical breakthroughs ever. It saved millions of lives and changed the course of medicine forever.
At first, Alexander Fleming didn't know that his finding would be so important. No one else knew the same. Penicillin would prove to be an extremely powerful antibiotic.
Until after World War II, scientists learned that penicillin worked against bacterial infections. The U.S. Army wanted to know if Dr. Fleming could use penicillin for soldiers suffering from infections with deadly germs. Dr. Fleming agreed.
It turned out that penicillin was effective against many different kinds of infection. It became a lifesaver for wounded soldiers during World War II. It was also used to save the lives of many doctors in post-war Germany.
Dr. Fleming never expected his discovery to have such far-reaching effects. He was just trying to prevent mold growth on the bacteria cultures that his research had taught him. But he couldn't imagine how this simple experiment would lead to an incredible medical breakthrough.
It's not surprising that many of the discoveries we make every day don’t amount to anything extraordinary. They are simply experiments made for no reason.
When you look back over history, you see that sometimes those seemingly unimportant experiments can change everything.
Discoveries that seem to have nothing in common end up being incredibly important. The discovery of penicillin is an example. Or photography. Or electricity. Or even computers.
Invention doesn't happen simply because someone has a great idea. It occurs because someone has a problem. And then they find a solution through experimentation.
