This video starts as the GoPro Founder and CEO, Nicholas Woodman steps off his private jet and exclaims MANY THANKS TO THE UNIVERSE!
Nicholas says, “People think GoPro is an overnight success, but it’s a classic 10 year overnight success”. He never gave up on his dream even though he had his fair share of failure with broken prototypes.
So many highly successful people have experienced more than one ‘failure’, but they treat it as feedback and learn from it.
He explains how he was board surfing for inspiration and had his light bulb moment. He found something he was passionate about and which satisfied an untapped need in the market place.
He’s now a billionaire and a very nice guy too.
