Is Originality Overrated? One Entrepreneur's Unexpected Lesson

In a world obsessed with unique ideas, Bert Negocios, a Canadian business advisor, offers a refreshing perspective. His video, which has garnered over 1500 views in less than a day, uses the example of his Pharmabox vending machine project to illustrate that originality isn't always the key to entrepreneurial success. "I thought my Pharmabox idea was unique," Negocios shares, "but I later discovered similar ventures in Mexico and other countries." He emphasizes that strong execution and market understanding are paramount. The message resonates with many entrepreneurs who may feel pressured to come up with entirely new concepts. Negocios's advice offers a practical and encouraging alternative: focus on improving existing models, and execute effectively. This shift in focus from novelty to execution is a valuable lesson for aspiring entrepreneurs.
