Hi All,
Their is a common myth about start ups which ultimately leads them to their downfall.
People tend to think that their idea or business model will make them an instant champion of the field which is untrue to the point that very few ideas actually tend to represent the wider opinion of the people(in this case your potential clients) as you will agree with me that ideas in our mind depend on what we perceive of the world and not what it actually is like in case of directors making shitty movies with utmost faith in their talent without the slightest hint of what is waiting for them on the box office.
Similarly a counter point can be made that great directors with reputation can walk free even with a pointless high decibel action blunder but that is because their reputation has reached a level from where their perception influences ours and not vice a versa which is the case in our scenario.
Point to be noted is that the best ideas are never the out of the box ideas at all but improvisations and innovations in order to overcome an obstacle.
A very good example is the invention of airplane by Wright Brothers in 1903 which is an out of the box idea from any stretch of our imagination for that time but few of us realize that people have been trying this for ages and the concept was well known before they were even born and the most important point is that they actually built upon the works of Sir George Cayley.
In this entire episode the most important thing to learn for us is that their are no out of the box ideas which work in the longer run but seriously thought over string of ideas which when fall in place at the right time in the history results in scientific or technological break through.
Therefore a wise and sensible way to innovate and discover fruit full ideas is to observe the surroundings(in this case market demands and gaps in the product lines available) and improvise on what's available.
