Fail fast to succeed faster

• Steven speaks about getting up and driving forward features that are the epitome of an entrepreneur.  He offered this example:  He had an acupuncture client coming in to his office, while he was waiting for her to arrive, Steve got a call that his brother had passed away.  At that moment, he had a choice to make; he could either shut down or buck up.  Being the entrepreneur he is, he took care of the client.

• Enduring Courage: Ace Pilot Eddie Rickenbacker and the Dawn of the Age of Speed At the turn of the twentieth century two new technologies—the car and airplane—took the nation’s imagination by storm as they burst into American life. The brave souls that leaped into these dangerous contraptions and pushed them to unexplored extremes became new American heroes: the race car driver and the flying ace. No one did more to create and intensify these new roles than Eddie Rickenbacker, who defied death over and over with such courage and pluck that a generation of Americans came to know his face better than the president’s.
