Business is all about innovation.

• Building a better process.
• Finding an underserved niche.
• Finding ways to cut production costs on expensive products.
• Amplifying the customer experience.
• Specialization.
• Utility.
• Flexibility.

There are many ways to think outside the box and flip it for business. There is no one way, and no one solution. It isn’t about staying on trend. It is about being just different enough to draw in your market base.

Today, I wanted to discuss innovation because it encompasses the firm belief that nothing is impossible. Everything is possible, primarily if the market exists for your innovative strategy.

3M is a prime example of what I love about this mindset.

Do you know the story of their Post-it note?

Those colorful productivity tools were an accident. Dr. Silver worked for 3M, on the hunt for an adhesive that was stronger than ever before.

Instead, he invented an adhesive that was lighter than before.

One to see the purpose where others did not, Dr. Fry noticed a personal need and had his own “ah-ha!” moment. Teaming up with his coworker, they created what we now know and love: the Post-it note!

If you do not know the entire story, I recommend reading about it.

I find it fascinating and a true testament to entrepreneurial innovation.

Be Dr. Silver.

Be Dr. Fry.

Take your innovation, research your market, and determine how you can get it in the hands of your customers.

Things are no longer impossible. Flip it and remind yourself, “I’m possible.”
