How to fail successfully
summary
A ruined renovation of a derelict church project that forces a sudden evacuation and moved five children overnight becomes the trigger for a year of evidence-driven recovery: reading Carol DK on growth mindset, citing Reid Hoffman and Steve Jobs, and cataloguing Netflix’s 2011 pricing fiasco that lost hundreds of thousands of customers. The prescription is concrete: fail fast and iterate, set stretch goals, track small control steps to rebuild resilience, create a support network, and run small, calculated risk experiments.
