A new way of seeing and approaching entrepreneurship:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strive to simplify and improve the lives of others, instead of complicating and creating \u00e2\u20ac\u0153false desires\u00e2\u20ac\u009d the lives of others.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

For example, the iPhone<\/a> as the ultimate zen creative tool. The vision of Steve Jobs<\/a>\u00e2\u20ac\u201d cross-pollinating<\/a> his love for Japanese-Zen-Kyoto aesthetics, his will to simplicity, and his love of beauty-music-poetry-calligraphy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Elon Musk keeping the Tesla lineup of cars simple. Striving to subtract the superfluous from the designs of the cars. Note the extreme beauty and minimalism of the interior of a Tesla Model 3. Or the huge innovation he made with the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153flush door handle\u00e2\u20ac\u009d designs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The zen of filtering <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The success of google: being able to simplify information and knowledge-retrieval. Google simplifies our lives by REDUCING the number of things to research. Showing a top result for a certain keyword or phrase simplifies our lives. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next frontier of email: the ability to REDUCE the number of emails and messages you get in a given day. Gmail attempts with \u00e2\u20ac\u0153priority email inbox\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, and filtering spam and promotional emails in a separate folder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simplify the lives of others <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To achieve simplicity is insanely difficult and challenging. But the rewards are great. For myself in my never-ending quest for optimal simplicity, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ve innovated much, increased my creative production, published more, stressed less, had more fun, and improved my life. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Simple is hard and the rewards are great!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can create an entrepreneurial service or product which massively simplifies or reduced the complexity, stress, or frustration of others, you will indeed become a wealthy person!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
