By now, we all know that key to cultivating a creative business — one driven by innovation — is to ask lots of questions. Warren Berger wrote a best-selling book about this back in 2014, called A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas, which laid out the path to innovation in three parts: Why? What Ii? And how?
A good example of the Why-What If-How paradigm is the origin story of the Polaroid camera. It started, as Berger explains, with a Why question from the daughter of Polaroid co-founder Edwin Land: Why did it take so long to see the photographs Land had just taken, using a traditional camera? That “why” led to a “what if”: Could he build a darkroom within the camera? And then, “how”: What combination of chemicals and paper would make that magic happen? In 1948 — five years after that first question was asked — the instant camera was born.
Market researchers help companies stay innovative by asking important questions of consumers all the time. But we also know, from experience, that it’s not just what questions are asked, but how they’re asked; in the media maelstrom facing consumers today, many people speed through traditional surveys, doing anything to get to the end.

McKinsey refers to the Covid-induced shift to digital as a “decade in days.” Overnight, we started ordering groceries instead of going to the store; having telemedicine appointments instead of going to the doctor; and working out in our living rooms instead of going to the gym.

To effectively compete, capture loyalty and grow revenue, retailers will have to adapt to a few key trends in 2021.

As 2021 is about to begin, many will choose to make healthy living part of their lifestyle. Help your team and lead by example. Merriam-Webster dictionary defines an entrepreneur as "a person who starts a business and is willing to risk loss to make money." This is why entrepreneurs should lead by example and show their teams they are invested in them by considering their health. As an entrepreneur, show them how to take a risk to add wealth to their lives by being healthier, which is even greater than having money. Mahatma Gandhi was quoted as saying, “It is health which is real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver.” If you have health, no one can stop you from achieving all the gold or silver or whatever you are after. "An unhealthy body weakens the mind." Lead your team by living an example of being healthy and allowing your team to handle what adjustments are needed for them to live a healthier life.
