“All startups should be thinking, what frustrates me and how can I make it better? It might be a small thing or it might be a big thing, but that’s the best way for them to think. If they think like that, they are likely to build a very successful business.”- Sir Richard Bronson
A few years back I used to sit down during lunch and think about what frustrated me that day. I could usually find one or two items that just rubbed me the wrong way. Once I have identified the source of irritation I can proceed to brainstorm ways of eliminating the frustration.
Next day I would do the same. It was amazing how one can almost come up with at least one new invention or a solution to a problem per day if one focuses on their frustration.
Sadly, I never did anything with the wonderful solutions I came up with. There was definitely a lack of execution. I never profited from all of those ideas. It was simply mental masturbation. It made me feel good but produced no useful fruit.
Today’s question is:
“What frustrated you the most today?”
