The Confidence Code
“We laughed. As if! This was early in our pilgrimage, so failing still seemed exactly the opposite of what women do easily and naturally. Failure, it went without saying, we abhorred.

He wasn’t joking. Fail fast, as it happens, is a techie buzz phrase, and more important, a hot business strategy. It’s based on the principle that it’s better to... throw together a bunch of prototypes, roll them out quickly, see which one sticks, and toss the rest. These days, the world won’t wait for perfection, and spending the time endlessly refining your product is just too expensive.

Usually you are failing small, rather than spectacularly.MoreLess
