The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
“You basically want to stack two skills that usually don't go together and it creates something remarkable”
What It Means
Combining skills from different domains that rarely overlap creates exponential advantage because few people have both
Why It Matters
Explains why some entrepreneurs succeed where others fail - it's about unique skill combinations, not just single expertise
When It's True
When two skill sets are both valuable but rarely found in the same person
When It's Risky
When trying to be mediocre at everything rather than excellent at the combination
How to Apply
Identify your strongest existing skill
Find complementary skill that's valuable but different domain
Invest in becoming proficient at both
Look for opportunities that require both skills
Example Scenario
“Zach combines coding (common among developers) with TikTok marketing mastery (common among creators) to build apps that both work well and market themselves”
