Going into business of any kind always proves to be a complex endeavor, one that requires a balance of anticipation, communication, and perseverance to succeed. Unfortunately, many newer and more seasoned business owners have a fear of failure that inhibits them from finding or even continuing the success of their organization. As a business leader, the fear of failure is truly a debilitating experience, so much so that it can ultimately cause failure, believe it or not!

I can’t count the number of times people at an education conference have approached me and said something to the effect of, “But how do we transform the education system?” or “We need to focus on system transformation” or “How do we scale system transformation?” I get why they share these sentiments with me. Ever since I wrote Disrupting Class in 2008, I’ve been publicly in favor of transforming education, not merely reforming it (although I do work in both spheres).
