Visionaries aren't what you think

The best creators and leaders don’t know 100% that something will work. They don’t pander to existing demand in order to create what’s certain to sell because people are already buying that exact thing. Instead of existing demand, they look to understand existing pain, then they craft a solution that people didn’t know to ask for.

You have taste, and ideas, and drive, and curiosity, and empathy. You’ve mastered a craft, and you’re here to serve. Don’t let others tell you what solutions you should provide. Let them tell you what solutions they’ve tried, and what’s broken about them. Let them tell you what sucks, what’s stagnant, what’s bad. Then, use all those skills you’ve worked hard to hone to create something they didn’t realize was possible.

Visionaries don’t have a vision OF the future. They have a vision FOR the future.

What’s yours? Go make it happen.
