Find the Big Idea, with Sara Blakely
Key Takeaways:
Your big idea is out there – but you have to train your eye to see it.
Finding ideas is a practice, not an accident: Cultivate a practice of opening yourself up to new concepts, scanning for possibilities, and asking: “Is this the big idea?”
Watch for the neon sign flashing: “This should exist.”: If you feel, as a consumer, that you need it – if you can imagine a crowd of others nodding with emphatic encouragement – this is your sign. Follow it.
Continually ask questions: Stay open to new information, ideas, and inspiration – even in unlikely places.
Iterate, iterate, iterate: Your real product will emerge through the long, arduous, but joyful process of iterating on an idea.
The Masters of Scale Courses app is a powerful tool that cultivates a winning mindset in growth-focused leaders at any level. Each course is divided into short-form audio bites called ‘Daily Practices,’ lead by Reid Hoffman and some of the world’s most successful entrepreneurs. Each Daily Practice unlocks surprising truths about scaling a business (the stuff we don’t learn in school), with actions to put into practice right away. In the app, you’ll earn a beautifully designed certificate upon completion of each course.
If you’d like to hear more from Masters of Scale Courses, we’re pleased to be able to offer an exclusive 50% discount on annual membership to the app. Redeem promo code NETWORKCAPITAL at join.mastersofscale.com/networkcaptial.
