One Idea Can Change Everything

Share this article:

Think Every Problem's Been Solved? Think Again.

Ideas don’t just happen—they’re built. It starts with seeing a problem and doing something about it.

Ian Heraty and I keep an idea book. Every idea gets ranked (1-5) with three simple questions:

1. How big is it? Will it make a real impact?

2. Founder-market fit: Do we have what it takes to solve this?

3. How painful is the problem? Is it a must-have, or just nice-to-have?

Most ideas? Not worth pursuing. But here's the thing: You don’t need 100 ideas—just one to change the game.
