Sometimes I meet with aspiring entrepreneurs frustrated by trying to discover the next big idea that will change the world. This is an almost impossible challenge and not the way most world-changing ideas have evolved.

 

Most successful entrepreneurs identify a need in a niche market. Then they listen to their customers and build a suite of products and services that become world-changing in opportunity and scope.

 

Please take a moment to view this video. I address and answer the question: Should your startup attempt to change the world or just fill a need?
