I was looking at my business successes and failures of 2017. The successes were mostly caused by the following recipe: Reading books relevant to a problem I was trying to solve + Experimentation (the solutions always had to be adapted) = Big innovative success.

Did failures have a pattern as well?
1. Not asking people more knowledgeable than I am for their advice. 2. Not listening when I did. 3. Not setting aside enough time to think about the big picture. Too much minutia 4. Wishful thinking - too much optimism. 5. Greed. ... Stuff like that
