Turns out that making mistakes can be a wonderful thing.
We recently asked entrepreneurs at the Fast Company Innovation Festival, “What do you know now that you wish you knew when you started your career?” and the answers were fascinating. We asked entrepreneurs and disruptors such as Yahoo Style’s Joe Zee, Instagram’s Eva Chen, Birchbox founder Katia Beauchamp, Walker & Company’s Tristan Walker, DonorsChoose.Org’s Charles Best, and Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCullough and Lazaro Hernandez, and their answers included taking more risks, enjoying taking their time to discover their passion, and why all the trials you go through launching a business are incredible lessons. Watch this video, and tell us at #FCNY what you wish you knew when you started your career.
