I tend to highlight or underline the parts of a book that I wish to internalise and apply in my life. This week was camp week at school, which ironically gave me the time to type all these useful insights from 17 entrepreneurs in my country.
My creative inputs only involve me putting related insights together and giving some sort of order to them. Hence, not exactly V4V. But I will post these insights for my reference:
- Be the best at what we’re doing in the space we’re in. Know what you’re doing best so that we can be the best. Hone your domain knowledge in order to harness it.
- Recognise your natural strengths and inclinations
- Have a key message and articulate your core values
- Disruptive innovation is where we think out-of-the-box, against all the norms, and create swiftly products that people want
- Fire bullets before cannonballs. Bring concept to reality quickly. Test the market and launch it. Keep on experimenting so that all your assumptions and hypotheses can be validated.
- Encourage cross-collaborations
- Build bridges. Remember that you build a bridge not just to facilitate you crossing over, but also to facilitate the other side crossing over.
- Let people be slowly immersed in a brand and grow with the founders
- Have a complimentary welcome card with a personal message from the company to add a personal touch to the service delivery
- Create a destination by having some form of scale within a location. Have a variety of operators doing different things so that we solidify the location into a destination
- Learn to tell personal stories that intertwine with our job and impress others with our knowledge
