Peter Diamandis and Dan Sullivan discuss turning problems into business opportunities.
- The world’s biggest problems are the world’s biggest opportunities.
- Your eyes see and your brain hears what you are looking for. So shift your mindset to look for solutions to problems and you will see them everywhere.
- Peter Diamandis challenge – take three weeks to interview clients, customers, employees, to ask what problem in our relationship would provide a meaningful improvement in that relationship. Have them list and prioritize the problems. You end up with a list of amazing opportunities.
- Don’t focus exclusive on major problems. Seek to solve the minor irritations.
- Breakthrough startups are born from solving these irritations.
- The biggest inspiration for new innovation are in workarounds to the government’s irritating limitations.
- By fixing your own problems, you lead by example and empower people to fix their own problems.
- Netflix destroyed blockbuster by removing the irritation of late charges.
- Steve Jobs and Henry Ford used the fact that people didn’t know they had a problem until a solution was presented to them.
- The things that you do to irritate your customers are seeding your future competition.
- Larry Paige – being customer centric is an obvious, but often ignored approach to company success.
- Once you have a revenue engine that is going well, where can you apply your unfair advantage to disrupt other industries? (like Steve Jobs did to phones and music, Google to automotive)
