“The day before something is a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea.”
Entrepreneurs think in terms of transformative ideas that most people deem impossible. As Peter Diamandis, an entrepreneur best known as the founder and chairman of the XPRIZE Foundation and co-founder and executive chairman of Singularity University, puts it, “The day before something is a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea.” By definition, entrepreneurs need to think beyond today, and they also behave differently. It’s okay if most people don’t understand your idea right away. Entrepreneurs have a big vision about what the world looks like in five or even ten years. Having a big vision comes with a growth mindset and willingness to fall and learn from failures.
