FBC – 354 – I Had A Major Breakthrough

A business breakthrough is that moment when a problem you have been struggling with suddenly clicks into place. It often comes from combining old knowledge with a new perspective. In this episode, I share how a major breakthrough helped me solve a problem that had been holding me back for years, and how you can set yourself up to experience the same kind of shift.

I Had A Major Breakthrough.

Very often these breakthroughs can help you revisit past project that were labelled as a “lost cause”.

Yesterday I made a really, really important discovery for me. And this is a lesson that I've told you before.

Let's say, for example, you've been studying something. You've been trying it for quite a while and then it doesn't work. Right. So on one end, you need to know when to give up on something and sometimes it's better to call it quits. OK, so you need to know where that frontier is.

So I had, I mean, like a major breakthrough for something that had been plaguing my life for ever in a specific subject. And now that I think about it, I'm like, dude, how did I not think about it, you know? But, when you're too busy and you're too involved in something, you miss the obvious. Now that I think about it, it's pretty easy and it's pretty obvious.

So I started writing a workflow where I will have someone actually doing a lot of that stuff for me. I already have someone doing part of it. But this will now complete the picture and get everything working so well.

But the first part, which is the creation part, I needed to find someone to actually do it. So I had to prepare some videos and stuff to explain what needed to be done. So this is going to pay off in a major way. It's insane.

So now just I'm looking for someone to actually do it, so, you know, and then afterwards, when things are going to happen, some people might tell me, oh, yeah, it's easy, you're not doing anything. I'm like, dude, you can't even imagine how much time it takes me. I need to conceptualize the whole thing. I need to think about a workflow and then I need to go out there and actually do it myself to make sure it makes sense.

Only at that point I'll find someone else to do it, but I'm going to pay that person. This is going to be pretty cool. I'm really excited about this and it solves the big major problem that I've had for the longest time.

When you are too busy and too involved in something, you miss the obvious. Sometimes the best breakthroughs come when you step back and look at the bigger picture.

Every skill you have ever learned adds a layer to your problem-solving ability. Nothing is wasted. Your brain adapts past approaches to new situations, and that is where breakthroughs happen.

So the lesson here is that some stuff that you've tried in the past, maybe you didn't have all the information, OK, maybe you didn't have that “aha” moment or the right connections to put everything into place. You need to be patient and wait for something to happen that will cause that ripple effect. And you never know when that's going to happen. It could be when you have a conversation with someone and then that someone can point you in the right direction and it's never lost and it's never useless.

You know, some people like to learn stuff for nothing. No, you didn't learn that from nothing because you learn one gem that will that will help you in other things, because sometimes it's not the actual tool you're using or whatever. It's just the logic behind which creates the reflexes in your brain.

So your brain will be able to analyse whatever the approach was and adapt it to another situation. It happened to me so many times where something that I've had done in another project, I could transcribe it into this project and make it quite successful.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a business breakthrough?

A business breakthrough is a sudden insight or discovery that solves a problem you have been struggling with. It often comes from combining knowledge you already have with a new perspective or piece of information.

How do you create conditions for a breakthrough?

Stay patient and keep learning, even when results are not immediate. Breakthroughs often happen when you have a conversation, read something new, or revisit an old project with fresh eyes and more experience.

Should you give up on a project that is not working?

Not always. Sometimes a project fails because you do not yet have the right information or connections. Revisiting it later with new knowledge can turn a failed project into a major success.

How does delegation relate to business breakthroughs?

Once you have a breakthrough and prove the concept yourself, you can document the process and delegate it to someone else. This frees up your time to focus on the next big idea.
