Innovation expert Louis Patler explores why 8 out of 10 business ventures fail and offers lessons learned from elite athletes that apply to business.?Before you venture out, take some advice from unlikely experts: Big Wave surfers who ride waves the size of a five-story office building using only a 9-foot piece of styrofoam.

Packed with stories of innovators, entrepreneurs, and legends, Make Your Own Waves reveals 10 Surfer's Rules that will guide entrepreneurs and innovators including:

  • Never turn your back on the ocean--always stay in touch with the marketplace and the customer
  • Stay stoked--desire drives success

Discover the do's and don'ts for innovators and entrepreneurs that will lead you to success.
