✎ Nick Woodman failed twice before he ever found success with GoPro. He lost millions of dollars and had to move back in with his parents. Instead of giving up he went on a surf trip to Indonesia and Australia to clear his head. While surfing he saw that people could not take good photos while in the water. He used a sewing machine and a broken surf leash to build his first camera strap. This shows that you can turn your biggest setbacks into your greatest wins if you keep going.
✎ The story of GoPro is about more than just cameras. It is about how Nick Woodman and his wife Jill used their success to help others. They started a foundation and gave away hundreds of millions of dollars to help their community. Even when the company had hard times with the Karma drone or new competition from DJI and Insta 360 Nick stayed focused. He even stopped taking a salary to help his employees and keep the business strong. He believes in solving real problems and staying humble no matter how much money you make.
✎ You can learn many lessons from the life of Nick Woodman. He went from selling shell necklaces out of a VW van to running a billion dollar company. He shows us that being a visionary means you must also be disciplined and listen to your customers. Whether you are a student at a school like UCSD or an entrepreneur starting your first business you must believe in yourself. Failure is just a part of the journey to becoming who you are meant to be. Take action today and do not let the fear of losing stop you from trying one more time.
