The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
Internal Narrative Supremacy Model
The story you tell yourself about a situation matters more than the objective reality because your narrative controls your behavior and outcomes
Decision Rule
Actively choose empowering narratives over accurate but limiting ones when facing challenges
How It Works
Your brain's interpretation of events determines emotional response and action, which then influences actual outcomes
Failure Modes
Choosing narratives that ignore genuine risks or constraints
Using positive thinking to avoid necessary preparation
Believing narrative control means ignoring feedback
Example Decision
“When preparing for a major competition, you tell yourself 'I am a professional athlete training for the Olympics' rather than 'I'm a hobbyist who might embarrass myself,' leading to more serious preparation and better performance.”
