The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
“Curiosity is a superpower”
What It Means
Genuine curiosity about others creates disproportionate advantages in relationships, learning, and business outcomes
Why It Matters
Most people are focused on being heard rather than hearing others, so curiosity creates differentiation and connection
When It's True
In relationship building, learning situations, and when trying to understand complex problems or people
When It's Risky
When time is extremely limited or when curiosity becomes unfocused and prevents action
How to Apply
Ask genuine questions about others' experiences and perspectives
Remember and follow up on details people share
Balance curiosity with time management
Use curiosity to understand rather than to interrogate
Example Scenario
“A business partner who genuinely asks about others' backgrounds, remembers their interests, and follows up on their challenges creates such strong relationships that people prefer doing repeat business with them.”
