THE SECRETS OF VISIONARY INNOVATORS
Living in Possibility
When we think about “celebrity innovators” – people who have famously created something dramatically new and successful – we assume they have some unique quality that the average person doesn’t have.

In other words, they have learned how to live in possibility instead of living in obstacle.
