9. • If there was a 0% chance of failure,
what would you build?
• Imagine the world 10 years from now
• Create your perfect world
• Keep a “It sucks when...” list
• Find problems, not solutions
• Force yourself to come up with 5 ideas
per day for a month
• Make stuff around you better, cheaper
or faster
