🤯 Where does craziness end and innovation begins? 👐 Have you ever had an idea that seemed so wild, so out-of-this-world, that you were almost afraid to share it? That's the line where craziness ends and innovation begins. It's a fine line, to be sure, but it's one that the most successful entrepreneurs, leaders and visionaries have learned to navigate with skill and daring. 💡 The Power of Unconventional Thinking👉 Innovation, by its very nature, requires us to think outside the box. It means challenging the status quo, questioning the accepted wisdom, and daring to explore the unknown. And sometimes, that means venturing into territory that might seem, well, a little crazy. But it's in those moments of seemingly "crazy" thinking that the seeds of true innovation are often sown. 🤔 Embracing the Unconventional 👉 The most groundbreaking ideas often start out as the stuff of science fiction. Who would have thought, just a few decades ago, that we'd be carrying around pocket-sized computers that can access the entire sum of human knowledge? Or that we'd be able to order a ride with the tap of a button, or have our groceries delivered to our doorstep? These are the kinds of innovations that once seemed like the stuff of fantasy, but are now an integral part of our daily lives. 🚀 Pushing the Boundaries of Possibility👉 The key is to embrace the unconventional, to be willing to take risks and explore the unknown. It's about having the courage to challenge the status quo, to question the assumptions that others have taken for granted. And it's about being willing to fail, to learn from those failures, and to keep pushing forward. 🌟 The Rewards of Innovation👉 Because when you're willing to take that leap into the unknown, that's when the real magic happens. That's when you can create something truly transformative, something that changes the way we live, work, and interact with the world around us. And that's the true power of innovation – the ability to reshape our reality, one bold idea at a time. So don't be afraid to embrace your inner crazy. Dare to dream big, to think outside the box, and to push the boundaries of what's possible. Because that's where the real innovation happens. #innovation #entrepreneurship #creativity #unconventional #mindset #success #futureofwork

🔥 Just left the Forbes 30 Under 30 2024 Summit, and let me tell you something raw and real... Meeting Forbes listers confirmed what I've known all along: The industry's "standard practices" are failing founders left and right. 🚨 Hard truth: The current business landscape is broken. • 90% of startups fail • "Experts" recycling the same tired advice • Cookie-cutter strategies that don't work Yet everyone keeps following the same playbook expecting different results. Here's the thing: When industry standards are this low, it's not just an opportunity... It's an invitation to dominate. 💪 I'm looking for founders who: ✓ Are sick of mediocre results ✓ Know they're capable of more ✓ Want to break industry norms ✓ Are ready to build something extraordinary 🎯 If you're tired of: • Playing by outdated rules • Watching competitors win with inferior products • Being held back by "that's how it's always been done" Let's talk. I help innovative founders break free from industry constraints and build category-defining companies. 🔓 Currently accepting conversations with 3 founders who are ready to reject mediocrity and build something legendary. Drop "🔥" in the comments or DM Zaid Faizar if you're done playing small.

Without creative thinking, your startup is doomed to mediocrity. Most entrepreneurs don't feel innovative because they neglect innovation. Here's what you need to do right now: Raise your standards. Creativity is the engine that drives groundbreaking success. If you want your startup to stand out, you need to start thinking differently: ✅Kill The Ego: Keep a low tolerance for all negative behaviors like gossip, complaining, and ego games in your team. Ego is the biggest killer of creativity. ✅Challenge norms: Don’t settle for “the way it’s always been done.” Innovate beyond conventional methods. ✅Foster a creative work culture: Encourage convergent and divergent thinking in your team to experiment and take calculated risks. Consider failures as lessons and learn together instead of criticizing effort. ✅Prioritize problem-solving: Remove "impossible" from the dictionary and adopt the "solution-hacking" mindset. Focus on solving real-world problems with unconventional solutions. ✅Personal projects on the side: Encourage your time to always have their personal side projects to practice autonomy and creativity. ✅Be inspired: Keep a culture of learning from people who have already done it. Lower egos and allow inspiration from the ones who are better. Mediocrity isn’t an option when you’ve got innovation on your side. Ready to boost your startup’s creative edge?

90% of founders fail at innovation. This is what innovators actually do differently: Forget what the books tell you.    Ask yourself: "What is the practical, step-by-step path to innovation?" It's this: The fundamental building blocks of knowledge: 1. Information  ↓ 2. Data  ↓ 3. Facts ↓ 4. Processes Remember: Every founder uses them, but not hierarchically. Yet this is where the actual assembly and building game is played. These building blocks allow you to: - Take charge of the information Typically, it’s the reverse — 90% of founders are led by the information. Don’t build a meaningless business by copying and mimicking others.    Create one that's truly original—figure things out on your own. Here's how to do it: 1. To reach from information to data, break sentences into words 2. To reach from data to facts, define the words 3. To reach from facts to processes, observe them in the context of your real experience Reverse-engineer information! Then repeat, iterate, and innovate. Go do it. You'll never regret it!

ARE YOU INTO CONSULTING NOW?! (Part I) ... that's the first question people ask me when they hear of Pivotal. 👺 Well, no, and: hell, no! That's not the goal. I am not against consulting. But I never wanted to be a consultant. Not with my first companies, and not with my last company Allthings, where I am still President of the Board and carry the same joys and sufferings as every entrepreneur. ➡ I always wanted to build products, solutions, sell ideas, dreams, ... whatever - but for sure do things that make sense and result in way more efficient offerings than selling hours. 🚂 So, that's what I am doing with Pivotal, too: I'm building an engine. "The Pivotal Engine". A digital platform that drives venture teams, boards and investors almost automatically through a pivot process. Based on data of hundreds of pivot cases, and based on proven frameworks like the Business Model Canvas of Alexander Osterwalder. More to come on that engine, in the next few days. **************** Hi, I am Stefan. I support tech founders, board members and investors in pivotal situations.
