The Myth of the Big Idea: Many entrepreneurs believe that having a groundbreaking idea is the key to success. However, the reality often reveals that no idea is perfect from the start. It’s not about finding the big idea; it’s about refining it continuously.
Daily Validation: The cornerstone of entrepreneurial success lies in daily testing and validation. This process helps you understand whether your idea works, how it can be improved, and what your customers truly want. Regular validation turns concepts into profitable and impactful solutions.

The big idea doesn't exist. Sometimes as entrepreneurs, we have the idea and believe this is the game changer, but quite often we're getting into reality and figure out over time that that is not the big idea. It's good to have great ideas, but more important is validating on a daily base.
Does it work? Does it not work? What are the customers saying? And really trying to figure out how your idea can be materialized into revenue, into profit, and as well into customer success, which means the outcome you want your customers to have.
Testing and validating on a daily basis, essential.
