Summary

Every entrepreneur has a running list of brilliant ideas, half-started ventures, and products that will change the world. But how do you identify which ones actually deserve your time? The girls offer practical advice about how to separate a genuine opportunity from potential disaster, build a business strategy that acts as a filter, and create a culture where the best ideas get a proper chance to work. Sara shares the brilliant eight-question framework she uses to assess every new thought before commiting to it. And, in identifying a deep-and-meaningful business insight relating to the pigs on Clarkson's Farm, Helen sheds a tear or two - much to Sara's derision!
