Often, people can be afraid to begin a new creative endeavor, especially when they compare themselves to people who are the best in the world.

What they fail to recognise is that these “best in the world” people have often been working on their skills, craft and experience for decades to get to where they are now.

In the late 1960s, Xerox faced a problem without a clear solution. With many of its key patents expiring, it was losing its chokehold on the industry it had created. That’s what led its visionary CEO, Peter McColough, to create PARC, which invented breakthrough technologies, incredible profits and saved the company. Yet many see it as a cautionary tale because of all the possibilities it wasn’t able to pursue.

The Orange Revolution in 2004 changed that.
