Insight
To Build important Companies, Solve Important Problems
Most people avoid boring and complex problems. Most people avoid difficult questions. Most people don’t want to do difficult and dirty work. We like to do things that attract attention and that are fun. We fall for trends and avoid hard questions. But real opportunities are in solving difficult and important problems.
Book Note
Clearing The Mind: My 60-Day Morning Pages Experiment
“Once I started doing morning pages, these pages gradually became my place for externalizing my inner turbulence. After writing three pages of mental baggage and sometimes good ideas, I would feel strangely unburdened to start working on my most important tasks.”
Recommendation

2. Business Ecosystem Change Takes Time
“There was no law of nature that said that Morita or Ibuka had to focus on innovative consumer electronic devices. There was no rule that forced them to continually push the envelope. They could’ve built a perfectly good business making transistor-based subcomponents, perched two-to-three levels up on some supply chain. The two founders simply didn’t want to build laggard products for existing markets. They refused to settle.”
