One of the biggest challenges we face as entrepreneurs and innovators is understanding how to make our ideas resonate. We tend to have no shortage of ideas, but we struggle to tell the story of how they are going to be useful in the world and why they will matter to people. Marketing is the way we communicate how our ideas translate to value for people in a marketplace.

But for every groundbreaking business that started this way, a thousand others have stalled or failed. Why? What's the secret to success?

What if you were only known for the worst thing you've ever done? Not only does the US have the highest rate of incarceration in the world, it also makes certain that the stigma of a felony conviction follows people who have already served their time. After she came to understand both the frustrations and untapped potential of the incarcerated, Catherine Hoke founded Defy Ventures, a revolutionary organization devoted to transforming the lives of people both inside and outside prison walls. A Second Chance is the story of how Defy came to be.

Marketing is not a department - it's the story of how you create difference for your customers. We spent $500 billion globally on advertising in 2013. Every year we're spending more money, to interrupt more people, more often, with messages they don't care about and don't pay attention to. We've come to believe that the way to succeed is to have an advantage - by being different or better, more visible, or just plain louder.

While human lives are endlessly variable, our most memorable positive moments are dominated by four elements: elevation, insight, pride, and connection. If we embrace these elements, we can conjure more moments that matter. What if a teacher could design a lesson that he knew his students would remember 20 years later? What if a manager knew how to create an experience that would delight customers? What if you had a better sense of how to create memories that matter for your children?

Everyone knows that timing is everything. But we don't know much about timing itself. Our lives are a never-ending stream of "when" decisions: when to start a business, schedule a class, get serious about a person. Yet we make those decisions based on intuition and guesswork. Timing, it's often assumed, is an art. In When: The Scientific Secrets of Perfect Timing, Pink shows that timing is really a science.

Every new project (or job, or hobby, or company) starts out exciting and fun. Then it gets harder and less fun, until it hits a low point: really hard, and not much fun at all. And then you find yourself asking if the goal is even worth the hassle. Maybe you're in a Dip: a temporary setback that you will overcome if you keep pushing. But maybe it's really a Cul-de-Sac, which will never get better, no matter how hard you try.

Touches to quitting, when to quit - just touches
- By Hakan on 02-22-09
Publisher's Summary
In a world where the smallest insight can spark a breakthrough idea, intuition is more valuable than ever.
What do the Dyson vacuum cleaner, Starbucks, Instagram, GoPro, Facebook, and Lululemon yoga pants have in common? Every one of them was the result not of data-driven analytics or corporate brainstorming sessions but a hunch - the intuitive understanding of a deep unmet need.
Anxiety over "being more innovative" leads entrepreneurs to create solutions in search of problems. But what if you could use your intuition to identify an existing problem that's begging for a solution?
International best-selling author and business advisor Bernadette Jiwa shows how anyone can uncover the kind of insights that become breakthrough ideas. Combining hands-on exercises with inspiring stories of the killer hunches that brought us ideas like those that launched the beloved Spanx and Goldieblox brands, Hunch is a guide to cultivating your intuitive powers and a road map to getting from insights to ideas that fly, examining the less talked about and often unexplored intangibles of innovation - empathy, creativity, trust, and uncertainty.
Every breakthrough idea starts not with knowing for sure but by understanding why it's safe to try. Intuition alone doesn't tell you exactly where X marks the spot, but it can give powerful clues as to where you might begin to dig. This is the book you need if you're ready to begin finding them.

Another dimension to thinking creatively
This book made me understand the importance of empathy in innovation, the importance of constant thinking on how to improve things, the art of pattern recognition, thinking differently and lastty that its so important to create the next big thing in a tiny corner of the world rarther than always going after the next big thing.
