Learn from your success as much as your failure. SpaceX is forced to do it more than any other industry. "What did we do right?" is just as important as "What did we do wrong", but it's so much easier to reflect on what went wrong.
They just parallel parked a high-rise building to a skyscraper!! ...and they'll be analyzing and pouring over the data from their success yesterday for quite some time.
"All your success is not your fault" is a quote I love from Scott Galloway
How lucky were you? How many things could have gone wrong? How much did you really do to prevent that?
February 6th, 2018. I remember vividly where I was, and what we were building Mace Innovations—only Chris Mace and myself.
It motivates me today just as much as it did back then. Remember all those failed landings before their first success? Most don't, I sure do. It didn't happen overnight. It took 15+ years of hard work and failures before all the success and awe-inspiring landings you see now in the media.
In early 2002 Musk started to look for key players, to start the soon-to-be SpaceX. He approached 5 people!
SpaceX in the "early" days was always one failed launch / landing away from being over.
Did that stop them, nope!
I remember taking a break from work and watching this landing, on February 6th, 2018. Getting motivated to keep building and staying the course.
What if I told you that failure is the only way to succeed?
In both business and innovation, failure is an essential step toward success. Just look at SpaceX. After multiple setbacks, they’ve recently succeeded in catching the returning Starship rocket — a groundbreaking milestone!
This achievement reminds us that failure isn't final. Instead, it's an opportunity to learn, refine, and improve. Whether it’s in launching rockets or seizing business opportunities, perseverance through failure leads to incredible breakthroughs.
Take each failure as a lesson, and you’ll be closer to success. 🚀

You’ll never change the world doing the same thing everyone has already done.
This weekend marked a huge accomplishment for SpaceX!
You see, their mission isn’t to just launch a bunch of things into space. Their mission is to make human life multi-planetary. And you don’t get there by incremental change.
This organizational spirit of innovation isn’t for everyone. We don’t all get excited by this level of risk.
But those who do you have a funny tendency to inspire the rest of us to dream big.

Firefly Aerospace CEO Jason Kim, speaking to CNBC in his first interview since starting the job this month, says he is “going to work maniacally” to scale the #space company’s efforts, which range from rocket launches to moon landings.
All of Firefly’s product lines are generating revenue and the company has kicked off fundraising a round of capital with a new lead investor.
Kim: “At the end of the day, we have to execute … As long as you execute, you can keep going bigger and bigger and bolder and bolder.”
We should build teams like Elon (minus the rockets) 🚀
SpaceX just achieved an incredible feat landing their super heavy booster, which is like catching a 20-story building after it falls from space.
Not all of us are involved in building spaceships or colonising Mars, but the fundamental principles at play are universal.
It's not just the tech that drives these accomplishments, it's the passion and dedication of the teams behind them. Over 12,000 hours were invested in this singular success - equivalent to an IT team working around the clock for 500 days straight.
Watch the team celebrate in pure excitement 45 seconds into the clip and tell me it's not truly inspiring.
How productive would meetings be if your IT squad brought that level of energy to the next sprint review?
What value would you attach to such passion?
what benefits might it yield?
Your work may not be as flashy as SpaceX's, but creating teams united by a common goal and driven to proactively solve issues could lead to something extraordinary...
...or at the very least, a workplace where people thrive and one that attracts great talent.

What has always propelled humanity forward are the bold visionaries, the ones who dared to dream big and push through, despite all the doubters and naysayers.
In business, it's often the unusual ideas that spark real progress. It's those individuals who’ve been told "that won’t work", "we don’t do it that way", or "that’s not how our industry operates", who bring fresh perspectives and drive change. Just like when SpaceX successfully landed a rocket back on the ramp today - a feat once considered impossible. These are the moments that show us: bold ideas and perseverance can redefine entire industries. 🚀 Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/exGEErxa
So, let’s embrace the unconventional, challenge the status quo, and give new ideas a chance to thrive. You never know what might happen!

SpaceX is what it is today by exploring the possibilities of failing. See the order within the chaos; this is true creativity. 📌
Every week, I see another 'wow I wish the space industry wasn't synonymous with Elon' sentiment. Listen, I get it. It's frustrating to see an entire humanity-changing industry overshadowed and undervalued because of a maniac (sorry, not sorry).
So let's change that. It's time to shed some much deserved and needed light on space companies, both big and small, that AREN'T SpaceX.
BUT not internally to the industry. We all have a pretty good feel for who is doing what out there.
No, the real challenge is shedding this light *externally*, with the public.
My first deep dive into 2 companies that I'm particularly watching over the next few years is linked in the comments. I want to do a lot more of these so let me know what you think of this first one and if you want a specific company to be featured in future episodes!

Remarkable execution, we would all agree, but where did it start?
WHEN musk started SpaceX, he created focused, coherent policies. SpaceX rockets would be complete redesigns and done in a low-cost, spare manner. Richard Rumelt outlines this in his book The Crux. In essence the clarity of strategy and policy was behind this remarkable execution. MyCoStrategist helps you achieve this clarity to enure you achieve remarkable results.

🚀 Retrofitting: A Game-Changer in Innovation and Sustainability 🌍
Did you know that the concept of retrofitting has been a key element in transforming industries for decades? Initially developed to upgrade existing systems and infrastructure, retrofitting has become a cornerstone in driving innovation and efficiency, especially in the aerospace sector.
One of the best examples of retrofitting in action is SpaceX, led by its visionary President and COO, Gwynne Shotwell. Since joining SpaceX, Shotwell has been instrumental in developing and championing the idea of retrofitting existing rocket components to drive innovation and sustainability.
🔧 Under Shotwell's leadership, SpaceX has implemented retrofitting strategies that allow the company to:
👉 Extend the life cycle of its rockets, enabling multiple reuses instead of building new ones from scratch.
👉Reduce production costs dramatically, making space missions more affordable and accessible.
👉Accelerate innovation by applying lessons learned from each launch to improve the next iteration.
This approach has turned SpaceX into a leader in space exploration, reducing costs by retrofitting and reusing Falcon rocket stages and making commercial space travel a reality. Shotwell's commitment to leveraging existing capacity has inspired industries worldwide to rethink how they use resources, pushing the boundaries of what's possible.
💡 Retrofitting is more than just an upgrade; it's about making the most of what we already have to create a more sustainable and innovative future.
How is your organization using retrofitting to drive efficiency and innovation? Let’s discuss!👇
