INNOVATION FOR DUMMIES AMOTEK-STYLE

February 2, 2022

'Innovation' has become a bit of a hollow word by now, now that it is used so much in different business models. So it is no longer about what you say, but rather what you do. Therefore, we lovingly share some tips that can help you get ahead in the innovation game:

Believe in it

There are not that many entrepreneurs who can do everything on their own. Even our CEO needs his wife's input before making a big decision. But sometimes it is better to just go ahead with your idea before letting others' opinions ruin it. Your idea is not theirs. It's innovative, so they've probably never heard of it. And because they don't know it, it's easier to criticise. However, they are not going to run your business the way you are - so believe in it. If you want to be an entrepreneur, just do it.

If you are confident but would like feedback on your project from people who really know something about it, look for the right partner. Someone who can share your enthusiasm and has just the right know-how to make your dream come true. We for example.

Dare to make sacrifices

Being an entrepreneur can also mean giving up some things. Time for yourself, for example. But giving up does not necessarily mean giving up. For instance, when your company had already invested in a solution to a problem, but it turns out to be the wrong solution ... Is it really the fail you think it is? Because we know from our experience that the best innovative solutions exist because of the failure of a previous one.

In our industry, we often see off-the-shelf solutions offered for your business. But believe us: these kinds of packages will usually not fully meet your needs. That's why we take a personalised approach, so you don't even have to experience the fail of a wrong solution.

Be honest

It may not be an easy thing to do, but taking a look at how your business is doing should be something every entrepreneur should do. Is your business ready for the future? Do you perhaps need to think about upscaling? Is it time to digitise part of your operation? Couldn't a certain process be easier? And when you have an answer to these, be honest with yourself. Ask for help in time and get your business ready for all the challenges ahead. Leave us a message, we are glad to help you!
