      You know the key thing people forget in startups is how non-obvious things are for a decade before they become obvious There is a real skill in pushing constantly and never letting up. Founders and early team/investors are prime movers to drive the message into manifestation.

      This is true not just for startups, but for new ideas generally.

          Yes—they are literally creating a desire for something for which there was previously no desire. There's transcendence involved in that.

          At amazon we accept we’ll be ‘misunderstood for long periods of time’ when we develop new ideas https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles

          Youll certainly be misunderstood for a long time about union busting to purposefully weaken employees bargaining power. Extremely low integrity behaviour

          The truth is things don't really work until folks who believe they should work put their shoulders into making them work.

          Even a groundbreaking idea is not worth anything, unless it’s backed by substantial people. Take Nikola Tesla for example.

          A good idea could be something that: •Reduces cost •Solves a problem •Makes life easier/efficient •Adds value to an already existing idea •Scalable (I’m sure there are many other parameters, but these are few I can think right off the bat)

          How do you overcome resistance to new ideas in an entrenched environment? Just leave the environment?
