Why You Will Fail If You Go Straight For Your “World-Changing Idea”
And how to actually go for it. Brought to you by the founders of Tesla and LinkedIn.
“I have this startup idea that will completely change the world!”
“My startup could change millions of lives! I just need to raise millions so that I can solve the “chicken-egg” problem of user acquisition really fast”
“I wish I knew how to solve the problem Uber had: not many drivers equals not many riders. And vice-versa. How did they go about it?!?”
Tell me if any of the above resemble something you ever said.
You are probably ambitious enough to want to change the world — and that’s a feat not many can be congratulated for.
You’ve got the will, for which I congratulate you. However, going straight for your world-changing idea might be the worst way to start.
Don’t listen to me though — go for it, fail enough times and come back here. Or let me just save you the time by showing you how it could play out in a better way.
