27. Take risks, embrace failure
27
98pc of innovation projects fail, how to be the
2pc that don’t.

Genius is one percent inspiration, ninety-
nine percent perspiration

28. What is their secret sauce for their
Innovation ?

29. If it’s stillAmazon’s philosophy to make bold bets, I would expect that
maybe some of them wouldn’t work out, but I am just not seeing that.
So, my question is where are the losers?”
29
If you invent frequently and are willing to
fail, then you never get to that point where
you really need to bet the whole company.
AWS also started about six or seven years
ago.
And I can guarantee you that everything we
do will not work. And, I am never concerned
about that…. We are stubborn on vision.
