From a British paratrooper to selling t-shirts on California beaches to creating some of the most popular tv series. Mark Burnett has a rare set of skills. He has some unique ways of defining success and failure. Success, he says, isn’t about buying things with money you make, but rather, providing yourself with the “glorious privilege” of being independent–an idea culled from the work of Scottish poet Robert Burns. Failure, on the other hand, is an “imposter,” per Rudyard Kipling, who implied it was an event that would eventually result in success. With “Survivor” on its 39th season, it is hard to argue that Mark’s views are faulty. In this conceptual age Mark has made the most out of his R-Directed Thinking style.

I think it can be a very dangerous thing when people think of failure as the end. There is no doubt that everyone will fail at something in their life time. But if everyone gave up when they failed for the first time, they world of innovation would move a lot slower than it has and we may not even have light bulbs. Thank you for this reminder
I do believe failure is actually a recipe for success. You must fail in order to grow and succeed. Very interesting post.
Mark Burnett is also the brains behind the creation of The Voice, which is one of the most successful television series of all time. He obviously is someone who understands human nature and is able to find niche ways to appeal to our desire for entertainment.
