Getting your idea sold, launched and love your job doing it. Welcome to the intrapreneur’s joureny. Karen Holst shares that ideas at the very end are going to be the very best version of what they should be, versus what you thought they were going to be.
In this episode
Bringing a new innovation into the world as an entrepreneur has it’s host of challenges. Doing this within as an organization brings to the foreground it’s own perils, twists and dips.
If you are the kind of person who thrives on seeing ideas come into reality, Karen Holst, entrepreneur turned intrapreneur shares with us the key learnings and highlights from her book Start-Within, to making that journey.
Karen and I discuss as a Doer within an organization, what it takes to Get Ready, Get Set and Go forward to getting your idea launched.
She shares that in the end the idea in her head is going to look very different by the time it is launched. It’s going to be the best version of what it should be, versus what she thought it would be.
“What is locked up in my head may not be what it’s going to come out to be, I have to do the small experiments, share, get feedback, along the way iterate move forward and that is what all of this work looks like, its not just this idea locked up in you, and it comes out the way you believe it should, you’re involving many people you are taking many steps, and at the very end its going to be the very best version of what it should be, it won’t be what you thought it was going to be”.
