Professionals from a variety of industries will share lessons they've learned from their own business experience. "An idea for a new enterprise (business or service or product) is (hopefully) a yet-to-be-proven concept that those (potential) competitors closest to its ingredients have yet to notice. While others may be on the fringe of the necessary expertise, you have spied the obviousness of success in advance. You see it and can envision how it can become real." -excerpt from The Idea FilterEntrepreneurs are wired for creation and innovation - but how are you sure that your idea is a profitable concept? Can you know, in advance, whether you will be the next Mark Zuckerberg, Oprah Winfrey or Sir Richard Branson simply based on your idea?
