"I have not failed. I've just found 10000 ways that won't work." - Thomas Edison
Entrepreneurs are masters of experimentation. Every entrepreneur must go beyond dabbling in it. The entrepreneur must become an expert at experimentation.
Have you got a new idea? Test it out. Have you exhausted every means of your product or service? Think of new ways to innovate products and services. Create spin-offs and offshoots. Expand, extend and exhaust all of your ideas, and then see where else you can go with them.
Do you blog? Write an article based on one of your blog posts, then write an ebook that expands beyond the article. From there, experiment with tinkering with some of the same ideas to create a training session in MS PowerPoint or develop templates and tools for managers and leaders to effectively implement the training. That may even lead to a mini-conference or half-day workshop on the topic with sessions by other business leaders on related topics where you can piggyback on their contacts and connections as you work together.
Even as I write this, I am allowing myself to experiment with ideas and see where I can go. In the words of Norman Vincent Peale, "Do not build up obstacles in your imagination."
