It’s a gift… and a curse…

I bet you have it too. 

You can’t get your mind off of it, can’t shut it down.

You wouldn’t be an entrepreneur if you didn’t have it…

What is it?

The Entrepreneurial Muscle.

It’s that thing that makes you analyze businesses wherever you see them, that makes you criticize marketing material every day.

You do cost-vs-revenue math in the supermarket aisle… count seats in the airplane and multiply by ticket cost… try to predict the next tech trend around the corner…

It’s impossible to switch it off!

Here’s my tip for you this week: Train that muscle!

I guarantee you’ve seen a business solution before that made you say: “Why didn’t I think of that?!”

Well, the entrepreneur that had that idea… they trained this muscle.

The stronger that muscle, the easier it will be for you to:

Find business ideas
Rapidly improve them
Innovate

So, I’m going to take you to the mental-gym today and we’re going to lift some entrepreneurial weights. Cool?|

Play the episode and let’s get started.

Here are the 3 things I’m going to hit you with:

Frustration List – Start one today
Idea Machine – Crank up the RPM
Gratefully Driven – The mindset you need

At its heart, entrepreneurship is about creating.

It’s about identifying problems that need solving and being resourceful in assembling solutions to fix that problem.

Every billion-dollar business was once just an idea in someone’s head.

The next one could be yours.

Drop me a comment and let me know how you’re going to keep flexing that muscle.
