Most ideas are too small to support a big vision.

Where do ideas come from?


- Experience- Personal experience

- Extrapolation- “What if?” “What’s next?”

- Empathy- Observing other people’s situation

- Excitement- Imagination, inspiration


An idea is like a block of smooth marble, beautiful to the sight and to the touch. However, the purpose of a block of smooth marble is to be broken. Your job is to chisel away the stuff that's not relevant in order to reveal the true genius within.

What is your idea?


Vision of what you want to do

The "void" (need) you want to fill

Are you problem-driven or solution-driven? (there are benefits/drawbacks of each approach)

What is the WOW in your idea?

Finding the WOW


Does it matter? find the emotion

Does it go to the core issues? find the transformation

What will you learn? Whatever the outcome,

if you learn, you win

Is it prototypable? fast evolution cycle sell, build, deliver

Does it create Raving Fans?

Why do you want to do this?


• What are your personal values and priorities

• How does this idea fit with your personal life mission

• How do you define "success" for yourself?

• How does this idea fit with your personal philosophy and values?

• Why are YOU the right person to make this happen?

- Need: How will this need evolve with time?

Your First Step


Write your Manifesto:

What is the change you wish to create in the world?

Why this? Why now? Why me? What are you committed to creating?

My Manifesto


I'm on a mission to equip 21st-century passion-driven entrepreneurial leaders with the clarity, commitment, confidence and courage to make a positive difference in the world.

Why? We need a new approach to leadership, to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing and chaotic future.

Entrepreneurship is the best way to ignite the imagination, focus the resources and stimulate the massive action required to overcome the huge obstacles we face.

The future we desperately need will be created not by politicians, or by the CEOs of the old guard, but by a new generation of citizen-leaders who are crystal-clear about their purpose, who are powered by the passion of a big vision, and who transform the status-quo by mobilizing communities of people to build systems that create profit and prosperity for all.

Success is…

Success is creating an experience of life which expresses your full potential

Trust that your rewards will come.

And credit them as heaven sent.
