Hunt for Breakthroughs


Let's say you need to create something new. You can't just do it the same way you would in a familiar field.

You know the "Why?" but there’s no clarity on the "What?" or the "How?"

At this stage, you feel anxiety and discomfort. Especially when time is short, resources are running low, and the pressure is high. And even more so if you rarely use Creator mode.

I’ll share a secret with you on how to calm down and speed up your R&D process.

First, inside you, there's a sensitive indicator. It will definitely signal when you catch a Wow-idea in your net. Along the way, it also hints, "Hey, that’s interesting," or "Probably not."

Second, you need to trust your curiosity. Like a hunter releasing his eagle, letting it soar into the sky and scout the surroundings. The predator itself finds, pursues, and captures the desired prey.

Third, you need to curb your inner manager. His zeal is out of place here. Scaling a one is efficient; birthing a one from zero is not. Its goal is a breakthrough.

The hunter succeeds when the eagle becomes an extension of his hand.

Sincerely yours,

-Alexander

Охота за прорывами.

Допустим, вам нужно создать нечто новое. Нельзя просто взять и сделать, как в области, которая вам давно знакома.

Вы понимаете “Ради чего?”, но нет ясности насчёт “Что?” или “Как?”.

В этой фазе вы испытываете тревогу и дискомфорт. Особенно, когда нет времени, ресурсы заканчиваются, а обстоятельства давят. И уж тем более, если в режим творца вы входите не часто.

Я вам открою секрет, как успокоиться и ускорить процесс R&D.

Во-первых, внутри вас есть индикатор “холодно-горячо”. Он обязательно даст знать, когда в ваши сети попадётся Wow-идея. По ходу он также подсказывает: “Ну-ка, интересно” или “Скорее нет”.

Во-вторых, вам нужно довериться любопытству. Так охотник отпускает своего орла, чтобы тот поднялся в небо и огляделся вокруг. Хищник сам найдёт, настигнет и схватит желанную дичь.

В-третьих, необходимо приструнить своего менеджера. Его рвение сейчас неуместно. В отличие от фазы масштабирования единицы, фаза рождения из нуля единицы не эффективна. Её цель — прорыв.

Охотник тогда успешен, когда орёл стал продолжением его руки.

Искренне ваш,

-Александр

In business and life, you have four roles to choose from: 1. The Destroyer. His every effort and thought is aimed at turning 1 into 0. Whatever he touches crumbles to dust. 2. The Guardian. His job is to protect a unit of value, ensuring that the 1 exists in the past, present, and future, no matter what. 3. The Manager. He wants, knows how, and must turn 1 into 10 or even 1M. Someone entrusts him with value, expecting him to manage and multiply it. 4. The Creator. Without asking for anything...

Everyone knows that cats hate water. Even if they can swim, they'll do everything they can to avoid getting wet. But the big cat in the photo missed that memo. Jaguars rarely encounter ungulates in their habitat. So they've expanded their diet to include 87 species, from turtles to anacondas and caimans. They leap from ambush, landing on their prey’s back, and often crush the skull or neck vertebrae. A puss in boots hunting a dragon in the river sounds both bold and funny. Surviving in a...

The map is not the territory, which means it lies. The moment it’s printed, it’s already outdated. Sure, a nature reserve changes slower than a city, but the idea is the same: time moves, and the context shifts. In this way, mental maps and topographical maps are similar. They offer a glimpse of a world that existed yesterday but is gone today. “All models are wrong, but some are useful,” said Professor George P. Box, known as one of the great statistical minds of the 20th century. The real...
