Do you really think that Steve Jobs invented the iPad on his own?
Trait #2: But They Don’t Talk Too Much
That said, you should also be wary of talking too much. This is one of the biggest warning sign that an ‘entrepreneur’ is actually a ‘wantrepreneur’. They are doing what some people call ‘playing business’.
This is the kind of person who spends a huge amount of time discussing their ideas, designing logos, holding meetings and planning their launch parties. They’re dragging their heels rather than getting on with actually creating their product or service. But it’s not because they are afraid to go live – it’s because they are just enjoying the song and dance of having an exciting idea. They waste everyone’s time with meetings and ultimately they’re more interested in wearing suits than they are in making the idea happen.
On the other hand, the real entrepreneur simply gets on with it and puts their idea into action.
Trait #3: They Are Not Afraid to Think Big
Too many people think that they can’t aim big with their business ideas. They are afraid that if they tell people that their plan is to go to space, they’ll just get laughed out of the room! Likewise for coming up with a plan to make a virtual reality headset.
Reality check: two of the most successful entrepreneurs in recent times (Elon Musk and Palmer Luckey) have built their businesses around these two ideas!
As Tim Ferris points out, it’s actually often easier to get attention for a big idea. Why? Because it’s so bombastic and so new that people sit up and they pay attention where otherwise they might have not cared. People want to be involved in something bigger than themselves. Why do you think that the Kickstarter for the Oculus Rift was so incredible successful?
Finally, consider a technique that I often use when trying to come up with new ideas for apps, services and products. I call it the ‘step-back’ technique and the idea is that you are always taking one step back from what it is you want to accomplish.
In other words, you come up with an idea for something you want to invent that could change the world and you hold nothing back. You imagine what the product or service you’d be most excited for would be in a perfect future.
And then, from there, you ask yourself how you could make that possible. Chances are that it won’t be possible. A phone that never runs out of power? Not possible. A projector like the one used in Star Wars? Not possible.
But then you ask what is possible and what could come the closest to emulating the same effects.
In the former example, you have something like a solar powered phone charger/case. Or perhaps you could take something like the excellent ‘Crank’ iPhone case that showed up on iOS. This is a phone case that allows you to recharge the battery by turning a crank by hand to generate kinetic energy! For the hologram, the answer would be something like Microsoft’s highly exciting forthcoming HoloLens.
This type of thinking forces you to overcome limitations and to get inventive and can lead to real innovation. By thinking big, you can come up with ideas that other people haven’t even entertained and you can make real breakthroughs as a result!
Let’s consider Elon Musk: here’s a guy whose end game is to colonize Mars and to rid the planet of its reliance on fossil fuels. Not exactly modest aims, but it seems to be working for the guy!
Trait #4: They Know When to Work With Others
Speaking of Elon Musk and his big ideas, this is a perfect example of how having a big idea can generate excitement and help you to make a splash.
Because when Musk came up with the notion of SpaceX, he had no clout behind his name and no prior experience. How would this ‘nobody’ gain serious interest in his competition to develop a spacecraft? He didn’t even have the money to put behind the idea!
The solution was simple: he found serious people within the industry that would give the presentation with him. He found ambassadors that lent his idea credibility and that was enough to ensure that backers would cough up the prize money.
This is an example of an entrepreneur recognizing their own limitations and knowing how to get around them by working with others. Likewise, you should also think of all the other ways that you can get around your own limitations with the help of others. Don’t know how to program your website or app? Hire someone. Not a great graphic designer? Hire someone.
