I have a theory….there are no unique new business ideas.
There is simply a God of Invention. Unlike other more serious Gods (fire, earth, etc), he (okay she) has a strong sense of humor.
Every now and then this God takes a really novel new business idea, encapsulates it in stardust, and sprinkles it down broadly upon the earth.
Lucky entrepreneurs and other intellects occasionally find and recognize these stardust encapsulated ideas as pure inspiration……ah….I could start a business or make a million with this idea and they are off to the races…
- Some cleverly find ways to bootstrap the idea into fruition…
- Some are rich and pour tons of money into it
- Other seek angel or perhaps venture capital…
- Some simply study the idea looking for flaws or reasons why it could not succeed..
Little do they know, the God of Invention is watching to see what will become of the idea, and secretly smiles as those unsuspecting entrepreneurs think their idea is unique. Competition, what competition….???
Ultimately it is not about the idea, but who has the drive and ambition to turn it into something really great, far ahead and faster than the others…
Remember, the God of Invention is watching….
