Want to Be a Great Entrepreneur? Welcome Relentless Trial & Error Where Needed. Hello, Everyone! This video features a high-energy talk by Frans Johansson, an entrepreneur, hedge fund managing director and author. In this talk Johansson "illustrates how relentless trial-and-error – the process of coming up with an idea, executing it on a small scale, and then refining it – is the distinguishing characteristic of the greatest entrepreneurs, scientists and artists. This is so because human beings often aren't very good at predicting which of their ideas are going to be a success. Therefore, almost every major breakthrough or innovation has been preceded by a string of failed or misguided attempts. For such experiences, Johansson reminds us, quoting Churchill, "If you're going through hell, keep going." In other words, if you're going through a diffuculty keep working to get out of the difficulty; do not stay in the difficulty.
