My first blog post as part of the Entrepreneur Evangelist series on WorkingPoint was called, Being a chocolate and peanut butter entrepreneur.
One of the things I like most about being an entrepreneur is the dicing and slicing of seemingly unrelated ideas and piecing them together in new ways. This article was specifically about identifying other people’s short-comings (especially your competition’s) to come up with new solutions: after all, what is a better source of good ideas that seeing how NOT to do something by someone else?
But the most fun for me is still really looking at what other people are doing that is cool, and piecing an idea from Person X and another one from Person Y, until you’ve got something entirely unique. Much like Pat Conroy’s Great Teacher Theory that I love so much, the key is in knowing from whom to steal, what to swipe and how to re-use it in all new contexts. It’s the most creative part of entrepreneurship, and usually the source of the most fun.
