Is it Time to Test Your Idea?

November 3, 2016 ⋅  Email This Post ⋅  Print This Post ⋅ Post a comment

I’m reading a new book called Designing Your Life written by two Stanford Professors (and Silicon Valley entrepreneurs) who teach a class by the same name. They’ve created a method to navigate change based on what they’ve learned as designers. And one of their suggestions that I really love is “prototyping” new ideas, by testing them first in small ways. This helps mitigate risk and failure. What idea have you been thinking about that you’d like to test?

Part of gathering information for your idea might involve networking. Check out my latest Career Coaching post about how to network and have fun.
