Realistic thinking?
How does anyone know that what they are thinking is realistic?
If you have done something before then you may think that you can repeat it.
The more different a line of thought is the more difficult it is for someone to be realistic.
Do entrepreneurs that have big ideas therefore lack some realistic judgment - or at least the first part of their business is to narrow the gap between reality and their expectations. If their expectations are compromised fully then the project will clearly be folded. If the information found supports the idea - then it may have legs.
On my mind are 2 aspects arising from this:
If there is a tendency to be overly negative then many projects will be killed
If there is a tendency to only look for conforming information - then every project will get the go ahead.
Therefore a screening system is needed. Unfortunately most screening systems rely on the past and not the future. They are also logical - and we are dealing with creative thought here.
Understanding the future market need is therefore a fragile process - and ignored by many in favour of today's products.
I would like to hear from anyone that finds that my above thoughts resonate with them. My e-mail is roger.croft@prdpartnership.com
