One Of The Most Critical Fastlane Skills?

[mikecarlooch]

Hey everyone, I'm creating this thread out of a burning curiosity I've had in the last month with what appears to be a critical skill in business...

And I thought to myself, what better way than to ask some successful people like those on this forum and their experience with it?

The skill I'm talking about is abstract thinking. The art of taking something from two different areas and piecing them together to create something valuable.

The reason I'm bringing this up is that it's been VERY difficult to find anyone talking about abstract thinking in an entrepreneurial sense..

And I'm assuming - that a lot of the successful entrepreneurs on this forum - have had to use the art of abstraction in order to create amazing solutions for customers, and in marketing, or anything else.

If you're a little bit confused still, let me give you an example. I saw a post that @biophase made recently where he took a bunch of gummy bears and glued them to a canvas, which then increased the value to about $65 if I remember correctly.

We also do a lot of talk here about freelancing and copywriting, and things of that nature.. And a lot of people in that space end up being like everyone else and doing what everyone else is doing..

Does the answer to being different in those types of things and creating REAL entrepreneurial things lie in abstraction?

This thread may be a total flop, however, I'm INCREDIBLY interested in hearing some of your guys thoughts on this subject..

Thanks!

-Mike
