Einstein’s theory of relativity. Gutenberg’s printing press. Steve Jobs’s iPhone. It’s no secret that people with big ideas have the capability to change the world.
Idea guys and gals are always dreaming of the next big thing that will revolutionize their business, their industry or the world…
But more often than not those ideas never materialize. The truth is most people just can’t seem to turn their ideas into reality.
So what differentiates idea guys that change the world, from the idea guys that people avoid talking to at parties?
If you’ve ever had a big idea for your law firm — but weren’t sure how to make it work — you won’t want to miss this episode.
