“The significant problems we have cannot be solved at the same level of thinking with which we created them” –Albert Einstein
Today, I spent my afternoon with dozens of other student entrepreneurs at the NCIIA Venture Well program. I didn’t know what I would gain when I walked in. But when I walked out at 7pm in the evening, I had really “pushed my mental reset button.”
We looked at a basic equation: Event + Response =Outcome. Through our modules, it became clear that in life, people try to control events through filters, generalizations, deletions, and distortions. I realized that my business ideas are only a working hypothesis and how important it is to sort what is truly effective and efficient.
Customers and markets will do what they are “supposed to do.” So as much as I can understand the human operating ecosystem, the better off I will be.
