Good entrepreneurs see what people need today and give it to them

Great entrepreneurs imagine the boldest future and deliver products which transport us there as quickly as possible.

Vision is there greatest strength. An innate ability to see around corners and predict where the world will be in ten years. The irony is that they don’t predict is at all. The see that future and simplify it to such an extent that it becomes an inevitable series of simple steps to reach it.

Most people aren’t ready for the impression these people paint of the future world. Wider public is not ready for the quantum leap ready for such a dramatic change in behavior, expectations, and possibilities.

It’s what so many get so wrong. How many times have you heard that entrepreneur X invented product Y but they were simply 10 years too early? This is nonsense of the most ignorant type.

The greatest entrepreneurs in the world invented that technology in their most bold and ambitious dreams and recognized the world wasn’t ready for it yet. Their superpower is the ability to translate and understand what it is ready for and deliver that today. By exposing people step by step, they grow to trust and expand their openness to embracing radical change.
