- Creativity involves gathering diverse inspirations and connecting them in new ways to create something original.
- There’s no such thing as a good idea initially; every idea is inherently bad until we understand why.
- Instead of dreaming about how amazing the idea is, focus on how to quickly, cheaply, and easily test it with real people to determine if it’s actually good or bad.
- A major reason entrepreneurs either fail to start or can’t stop is because they have built their idea into something so complex in their minds that beginning seems nearly impossible, or they are too invested to abandon it.
- Entrepreneurship often involves addressing two challenges: creating something a customer might want and finding a way to turn it into a viable business.
- One key role of a CEO is ensuring that the best people are in the right roles, which sometimes means saying goodbye to those who are not the right fit for the company’s next phase.
- Marketing is an interesting discipline because it requires you to imagine how people will react since you’re not there to see their faces as they engage with your content.
- Hard work alone is not the key to success. The notion that sheer hard work leads to success is a myth.
- The key to balance as an entrepreneur is recognizing that being smart about the things you choose to focus on makes 99% of the difference, and all the extra work doesn’t significantly change the outcome.
- Success lies not in having a single good idea but in creating a process and culture that enables you to test and iterate through numerous ideas.
- Success, in my view, is the ability to spend your time doing what you truly want to do.
