Top 8 lessons learned from the book
-"Built To Last"
1. You don’t need a great idea to start a great company.
🔸Few of the visionary companies in the book begin with any specific idea.
🔸The success of visionary companies comes primarily from successful underlying processes and core values.
2. Don’t make “maximizing profit” your primary goal.
🔸Paradoxically, visionary companies make more money than the more purely profit-driven comparison companies.
3. Charismatic, visionary leaders are not required.
🔸Visionary companies benefit from strong leadership, but the book found the best leaders were more akin to architects building a company based on human ideals and values.
4. There is no “correct” set of core values for a visionary company.
🔸Similarly, two companies with opposite values can both be visionary and highly successful.
5. Visionary companies set Big, Hairy, Audacious Goals (BHAGs)
A good way to develop your BHAG is to look for the alignment in three areas:
1) What are you deeply passionate about?
2) Currently, what drives your actions and income?
3) What can you be the best in the world at?
6. Visionary companies almost religiously preserve their core ideology.
🔸It is the translation of intentions into concrete action and results that make the difference.
7. Visionary companies succeed mainly through experimentation.
🔸First, determine your core values and why you exist. Next, try a lot of stuff and see what works.
8. Visionary companies focus on beating themselves, not the competition.
🔸Any Lean practitioner knows that the goal of continuous improvement is perfection and never ends.

💡4 tips on how to solve problems
1. Focus on the solution, not the problem.⠀
Neuroscientists have proven that the brain cannot find a solution if you are fixated on a problem. This is because when you focus on a problem, you are essentially feeding "negativity" which in turn activates negative emotions in your mind. niya.⠀
You should not "ignore the difficulty" - instead, try and keep calm. This helps to first recognize the problem, and then switch to finding a solution instead of whining about "what went wrong" and "who is to blame."
2. Be objective.⠀
Try and consider all "possible solutions" - even if, at first glance, they seem ridiculous. In order to launch creative thinking, which can suggest possible solutions, it is important not to give up a single idea right away.⠀
Any idea is good, it encourages creative thinking during brainstorming and other problem solving techniques. Whatever you do, don't make fun of "stupid decisions", as often delusional ideas suggest more effective options.⠀
3. Judge the problem impartially.⠀
Try not to perceive the problem as something terrible! If you think, what is the problem? This is just a reaction to the current situation. The problem tells you that something is not working at the moment, and that you need to find a new solution. Therefore, try to solve problems impartially, without any evaluation. If you fixate on the label "problem", it can cause negative thoughts and prevent the sudden emergence of possible solutions.⠀
4. Think abstractly.⠀
Change the "direction" of your thoughts, with the help of abstract thinking. Concentrate on the statement: "By digging the same hole deeper, you cannot dig a hole in another place." Try to change your approach and look at things in a new way. You can try to look at your goals from a completely opposite point of view.⠀
