According to Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler&#8217;s book <em>Bold<\/em>, it\u2019s also changed the nature of business and the steps up-and-coming entrepreneurs must take to succeed.

(The authors refer to this as having a \u201cbold mindset.\u201d)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Becoming an exponential innovator is important because, in the age of the internet, innovations are <em>never <\/em>safe from competition. Once an idea or product is made available online, it develops at an exponential rate because anyone anywhere can instantaneously access and share it. This means that someone will inevitably use your idea to create something better. <strong>The only way to avoid this inevitability is to ceaselessly innovate and<\/strong> <strong>outperform yourself before someone else does<\/strong>\u2014to become an exponential innovator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are two main components that make exponential innovators successful and that you must adopt to become one\u2014<em>psychological strengths<\/em> and <em>innovators\u2019 habits<\/em>. Psychological strengths are the mental abilities that give you the confidence and motivation necessary to pursue daring ideas. Innovators\u2019 habits are the strategies and techniques you rely on to develop daring ideas and bring them to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step #2: Build Credibility With a Closed Network<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve adopted the psychological skills and innovators\u2019 habits necessary to become an exponential innovator, you must create a support network. <strong>Your support network will help<\/strong> <strong>advance your innovation from the infant stage\u2014a good idea\u2014into a large-scale success<\/strong>: a publicly-endorsed innovation that has changed the world in some way.<strong>&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The authors&#8217; ideas on networking are divided into two themes. <strong>First, create a <em>closed network<\/em><\/strong> of people that you have personal relationships with. These people will help you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/credible-communication\/\">build credibility<\/a> by offering the critical feedback, connections, and resources necessary for you to accomplish your micro-goals. The people in your closed network are specifically chosen by you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>After creating a closed network and accomplishing your micro-goals, create an <em>open<\/em> <em>network<\/em><\/strong> of people who may not know you personally but support\u2014often financially\u2014your innovation. These people will help you achieve large-scale success. Unlike your closed network, any member of the public can choose to join your open network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step #3: Reach Large-Scale Success With an Open Network of Investors<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The third step in creating a successful innovation, and the second part of building a support network, is to <strong>create an open network of members of the public who\u2019ll provide you with the finances and popularity necessary for your innovation to succeed.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why do you need an open network to succeed? Diamandis and Kotler elaborate that the final step to releasing your innovation with high credibility is to capture public attention through excellent advertising and press coverage. This will allow your innovation to reach as many people as possible and achieve true success\u2014the ability to change the world in some way. However, the necessary publicity requires more funds than your closed network members can provide\u2014hence the necessity of open network members who\u2019ll invest in your cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler&#8217;s book Bold about?
