One of the most common questions entrepreneurs and small business owners ask is, “how do I create a category if I’m not a heavily funded startup, or some massively successful company?

Since birth, you were spoon-fed ideas, beliefs, and routines that program you into the same default path as everyone else. This leads to the same quality of life as everyone else. It’s no wonder why most people feel anxious, overwhelmed, and have a cloud of meaninglessness hovering over their heads at all times. Focus is the cure.

From early in life, we’re taught to compete in a preexisting game of comparison designed by someone else (listen to this sentence three times). And in doing so, we unconsciously submit to someone else’s rules. In business, this seems smart. Buy Google Ads for the keywords that indicate someone is already shopping and yell, “Pick me! Pick me!” The unquestioned rationale is: Demand exists, and if our business can tap into that existing demand, we will find customers—and customers lead to profits.

Great startups don't waste time on small stuff. If you study the early days of any great startup, you’ll see that 90% of their growth came from 10% of the stuff they tried. But most needed years of experimentation to find their growth levers. This book aims to shortcut that process. Generic tactics like paid ads, SEO and referral programs will only get you so far. Growth levers are things like the professional photographs that made tens of thousands of customers trust AirBnb when they otherwise wouldn’t—a crucial move that unlocked explosive growth.

Publisher's Summary
To read this “mini-book,” as well as our entire archive of writing on Category Design, subscribe to Category Pirates here:

Actual “thinking” is not reflexive. It’s reflective.
Almost all thinking is reflexive (having an unconscious “reflex” in response) versus “reflective” (taking a moment to consciously reflect on how the past may have created a preexisting mental model keeping you from considering a new and different future).
But reflexive thinking causes a scarcity of fresh thinking in the world.
In order to build the skill of coming up with fresh, new ideas, we have to first define what it means to “think.”
In this “mini-book” you will learn:
- How Sequoia Capital's mental awareness to ask a "thinking" question led to investing in Airbnb—and earning more than $12 billion.
- Strategic ways to move up and out of Obvious, incremental instruction and into exponential Non-Obvious thinking.
- Why languaging your thinking is the secret to being seen as a brilliant thinker and writer.
- The five archetypes of highly effective creators, writers, and entrepreneurs who create Non-Obvious ideas.
- Tips to become legendary by knowing the people you're creating for, what their expectations are, and why it matters to them.
Packed with incredibly valuable insights, this short “mini-book” shows how to spot, create, or unlock Non-Obvious problems and solutions to come up with the most valuable ideas.
