In 1995, a graphic design teacher named Lynda Weinman, and also an aspiring entrepreneur, decided to get the website Lynda.com.
2
She did so because she needed a sandbox to play in, with the new graphic-design tools, the digital tools that were being developed at that time: Photoshop, Illustrator and many more.
3
And she needed a place to put her students' work so all could see it.
4
Well, she put that website together, and the business began to grow.
5
And in 2002, she discovered it could be much, much more, so she moved all of her teaching online.
6
Later, the business was sold to LinkedIn, who renamed it LinkedIn Learning, sold for 1.5 billion US dollars.
7
Lynda is the poster child for what I call the counterconventional mindsets of entrepreneurs.
8
So I want to tell you about these mindsets today, and here we go.
9
So, number one, why do I call them counterconventional?
10
First, these six mindsets run counter to the best practices, as we call them, that are done in big companies today.
11
They fly in the face of much of what we teach at London Business School and other business schools about strategy, about marketing, about risk and about much more.
12
Now, you might say, “John, what do you mean by ‘mindset?’” A mindset, of course, is up here, right?
13
It's those things, attitudes, habits, thoughts, mental inclination which, when something comes our way, predetermines the response we make to that something that comes our way, and those somethings, as we entrepreneurs call them, are opportunities.
14
So I want to tell you about these six mindsets, and the first one, I call "Yes, we can." Now, B-school strategy 101 says the following: what we're supposed to do, in a company, is stick to our knitting.
15
We've got to figure out what we're really good at -- we call them core competencies -- and we've got to build on them, invest in them, nurture them, make them more robust.
16
And if somebody comes along and says, “Can you do something different, that’s outside of that?” what are we supposed to say?
17
"No, I'm sorry, we don't do that around here." Well ...
18
A Brazilian entrepreneur named Arnold Correia built a wonderful business that, today, is called Atmo Digital, by disregarding those rules.
19
He'd already reinvented his business twice, to become a major provider of event management and production services, when one of his customers said to him, "You know, I have 260 stores scattered all around Brazil," and Brazil is a big country, "and I'd like to be able to broadcast training and motivational events to the stores in real time.
20
So, Arnold, could we put televisions in the training room of all my stores, and could we build a satellite uplink so we can send all this wonderful stuff to the stores?" So what did he say?
21
He said, “Yes, we could do that,” even though he knew nothing about satellite technology, had never operated outside São Paulo, but he got it done.
22
Then, several years later, some of the other customers, one of them in particular, Walmart, said, “You know, it’s nice that we have all of these television screens in the back room of the store, but wouldn't it be cool if we had them on the sales floor?
23
Because then, we could run advertising, so when the customer walks down the aisle for detergent, perhaps there's an ad for Procter and Gamble's detergent in that aisle?" And what did Arnold say to that request?
24
"Yes, we can do that." Over a period of years, Arnold reinvented his business, fundamentally, four different times, by saying, when a customer wanted something new that lay outside of his core competencies, "Yes, we can." The second one I want to tell you about, I call "problem-first, not product-first logic." So in big companies today, it's all about the products.
25
So while I'm in the US, my family and I have used Tide, for many years, to wash our clothes.
26
And we get a chuckle, every now and then, because we can tell a new brand manager has come along, because what happens, they change the product, right?
27
They take the blue speckles out of it and turn them green.
28
And they call it "new, improved." Is this innovation, guys?
29
I'm not so sure.
30
Coca-Cola, what is there?
31
There was Classic Coke, and then, there was New Coke.
32
That didn't work out too well.
33
Then, there was Diet Coke, Coke Zero and Vanilla Coke and Cherry Coke, lots of Cokes.
34
I don't think this is what innovation is all about.
35
But for entrepreneurs, we don't focus on products, we focus on problems.
36
A guy named Jonathan Thorne developed a technology that did something very useful.
37
This instrument you see in front of you is called a surgical forceps.
38
It's the tool that almost every surgeon, in any kind of medical discipline, uses to do his or her work.
39
But there's a problem with these surgical forceps -- they stick to human tissue.
40
So imagine you're having a facelift, and the plastic surgeon is doing the final touches, but the tissue sticks to the forceps.
41
Maybe it's not going to look quite as good as it was supposed to look.
42
And maybe the plastic surgeon is going to get a little frustrated, and it's going to take longer to do the work.
43
And John said, "You know, that's a problem I think I can solve," with a new silver-nickel alloy that he had developed.
44
It turned out the business didn't grow very fast, focusing on plastic surgeons.
45
So he said, "I wonder if there's another surgical specialty that has an even bigger problem that I could solve," and he discovered one, and that's neurosurgeons.
46
And neurosurgeons work in two places on our bodies, in our spines and in our brain.
47
So I hope you never have brain surgery, and I hope I never have it, but if they have to take a little tumor out, I hope the forceps don't stick to some other tissues, because I kind of want to keep all the brain cells I can, right?
48
John Thorne built a fantastic business, sold it some years later to Stryker.
49
Stryker is very happy, John and his investors are very happy too.
50
Why? Because John focused on solving problems, not on thinking about products.
51
The next one, I call it “think narrow, not broad.” Like John Thorne, an entrepreneur I’m going to tell you about focused on a problem but thought very narrowly about the target market.
52
But the big-company wisdom doesn’t want narrow target markets, it wants big target markets, right?
53
Because you've got to move the needle.
54
Why would a big company mess around with something small?
55
Like John Thorne, Philip Knight and Bill Bowerman, when they founded Nike, a company we all know very well today, had identified a problem, but it was a problem that a very narrow target market had.
56
Phil Knight was a runner, a distance runner, and he could run almost, not quite, a four-minute mile, and Bill Bowerman was his track coach.
57
And there was a problem with their shoes, because running shoes, in those days, were really made for sprinters.
58
And when sprinters train, they run around the track.
59
It's a nice, smooth track.
60
But distance runners don't run around tracks.
61
Where do they run?
62
They run on country paths and dirt roads, and they're always stepping on sticks and rocks, and so they get sprained ankles.
63
And they run mile after mile after mile, and they get shin splints.
64
Well, Knight and Bowerman said, "We need better shoes, shoes that are made especially for distance runners, especially elite distance runners, who really train a whole lot.
65
So we're going to build a better shoe that's going to have better lateral stability, a wider footbed.
66
It's going to have a little more cushioning in it, to protect against those shin splints -- and by the way, if it's a little bit lighter-weight, a few ounces lighter, times all the steps in running a mile, or a two-mile, or a marathon, it’s going to make for faster race times too.” So we know what happened with Nike, right?
67
Once they developed the skills to design shoes explicitly made for a target market, a narrow one, and once they learned to import those shoes from Asia, and once they learned to get athletes to adopt those shoes, what did they do?
68
Well, John McEnroe in tennis, Michael Jordan in basketball came next, and we know what the story is with Nike today.
69
They're the global leader in athletic footwear and much more.
70
OK, the next one -- “asking for the cash, and riding the float.” Big companies today are awash in cash.
71
Even in these tricky times we are in today, there is cash all over the place, right?
72
Merck, in 2018, spent all this money giving money back to shareholders through stock buybacks and dividends, and they could only find 10 billion worth of R and D to do, with all that cash.
73
Is something wrong here?
74
I think this just doesn't feel right.
75
But for entrepreneurs like Elon Musk and the Tesla team, cash is the lifeblood of the entrepreneurial venture.
76
So when Musk joined the Tesla team, he said, "What's the plan here?" And that team had a plan, and it was to build a really fancy sports car, make a lot of money from that one, use that money to build a somewhat lower-priced car, make some money from that one, and then, we're going to build a mass-market car that more people can afford.
77
And in so doing, we're going to make a real dent in the emissions problem that the global automobile industry creates.
78
Well, what Musk said is, "Let's go see if we can sell some cars." So ...
79
they did a little road show in California, and they invited people, on this little road show, with three characteristics.
80
Number one, they cared about the environment.
81
Number two, they were wealthy.
82
And number three, they thought it might be cool to have the next big thing parked in their driveway.
83
Well, guess what?
84
They sold 100 Tesla Roadsters for 100,000 dollars each, cash on the barrelhead, paid tonight.
85
How much? Do the math.
86
How much money have they got to start building Roadsters?
87
10 million US dollars in the bank, in cash, before they had built Roadster number one.
88
That principle has carried Tesla all the way through its journey.
89
So when they introduced the Model 3, several years ago, nearly half a million consumers put down deposits of 1,000 dollars each.
90
Do that math.
91
Half a million consumers, 1,000 dollars each -- half a billion dollars, in the bank, in cash, with which to begin doing the engineering, build the tooling, fit out the factory and more.
92
Wouldn't you like to build your entrepreneurial venture with that kind of business model?
93
OK, the next one.
94
I call it “beg, borrow, but please, please don’t steal.” In B-school finance, we teach our students how to analyze whether a project's any good.
95
So you figure out how much investment you have to do, and then, you figure out what the cash flow is going to be, going forward, year after year, for five years, 10 years or whatever.
96
And then, you ask yourself, "Well, is that return on that investment sufficient?" And if the ROI is good enough, then you do the project.
97
That's the idea.
98
But for Tristram Mayhew, and Rebecca Mayhew, his wife, who built a wonderful business in the UK, called Go Ape, a treetop adventure business, they didn't think that way at all.
99
They said, "We want to build a treetop adventure business, here in the UK." They'd seen one in France, that they liked, on a vacation.
100
"So where can we get some trees?" Well ...
101
Who's got trees in the UK?
102
It turns out the UK Forestry Commission has trees in the UK, lots of them, in all these Forestry Commission sites, and the Forestry Commission was very interested in increasing their visitor count.
103
Well, what better way to increase their visitor count than to have a Go Ape treetop adventure course on their land?
104
So what Tris and Becs essentially did was go to the Forestry Commission and say, "Look, if you'll give us a chance to build five of these and show you that it works, we'd like an exclusive for the rest of them, for 25 years." The deal was done.
105
Today, there are more than 30 Go Ape adventure sites across the UK, there are a whole bunch of them in the US, and how did that happen?
106
Because they borrowed most of the assets they needed.
107
They borrowed the trees, they borrowed the loos, they borrowed the parking lots, all that stuff.
108
All they had to do was put their kit on the trees.
109
Pretty cool.
110
Now, entrepreneurs and permission are kind of like oil and water.
111
If you're an entrepreneur, you kind of know that, right?
112
But in a big company today, if you want to get something new done, something entrepreneurial, something that’s maybe a little different than the norm, you’ve got to pass it through the lawyers first.
113
Because there are a lot of regulations everywhere, and you don't want to do something that's going to land a top exec in jail.
114
So it's really hard to get a "yes" answer to doing something that's new and innovative, and it takes a long time.
115
But it’s really easy to get a “no.” For entrepreneurs, however, like Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp, who founded Uber, do you think they would have been wise to ask the permission of the San Francisco regulators?
116
"Can we start a taxi company without any taxis?" No, maybe not, right?
117
Because, had they asked, what do you think the regulators would have said?
118
"There's no way you're going to do that.
119
That's going to threaten the current taxi industry." So entrepreneurs don't ask permission, they just get on with it.
120
Now, I don't condone many of the things that Uber did, along their journey, many of them unethical, some of them, probably, illegal.
121
But the principle of entrepreneurs just getting on with it, when the regulations are perhaps ambiguous or haven't considered what could be done today, digitally, that's when you get on with it.
122
OK, so I want to close with four questions for you.
123
Question number one: Which of these mindsets are embodied in you today -- maybe one or two of them already?
124
Question number two: Which of the others can you learn?
125
Are these learnable? I think they are.
126
Question number three: Can you teach these to somebody you work with, who has some challenges for which these mindsets might help?
127
And, more pertinently today: Is there a challenge you face today for which one of these mindsets, or a couple of them, might help you get beyond the roadblocks you're facing with that challenge?
128
OK, so there we go.
129
Six counterconventional, break-the-rules mindsets that can help anyone, maybe you, change the world.

맥락 및 배경
이 비디오는 TED 강연의 일환으로 조지타운 대학교의 교수인 존 멀린스가 성공적인 기업가가 되기 위한 여섯 가지 주요 마인드셋을 설명합니다. он 기업가정신과 혁신의 중요성을 강조하며, 전통적인 비즈니스 관행과는 다른 발상의 전환을 요구하는 내용이 포함되어 있습니다. Lynda Weinman의 사례를 통해 그녀가 어떻게 전통적인 교육 방식을 넘어 디지털 교육 플랫폼을 성공적으로 구축했는지를 보여줍니다. 이는 영어 학습에서도 마찬가지로 새로운 관점을 가지고 접근해야 함을 의미합니다.
일상 대화를 위한 5가지 주요 구문
- “Yes, we can.” (네, 할 수 있습니다.) - 새로운 기회에 대한 긍정적인 태도를 나타냅니다.
- “That’s a problem I think I can solve.” (내가 해결할 수 있는 문제입니다.) - 문제 해결에 초점을 맞춘 접근 방식입니다.
- “What are we supposed to say?” (우리는 무엇이라고 말해야 합니까?) - 통상적인 사고방식을 질문하는 표현입니다.
- “I wonder if there’s another…” (다른 것이 있는지 궁금합니다…) - 다양한 가능성을 탐색하는 표현입니다.
- “Over a period of years, I reinvented my business.” (수년에 걸쳐 내 사업을 재편성했습니다.) - 지속적인 변화와 혁신을 나타냅니다.
단계별 쉐도우 스피킹 가이드
이 비디오의 내용은 영어 말하기 능력을 향상하는 데 큰 도움이 됩니다. 특히 shadow speak와 shadowing site를 통해 실습할 수 있습니다. 다음 단계에 따라 쉐도우 스피킹을 시도해보세요:
- 첫 번째 단계: 비디오를 처음부터 끝까지 시청하여 주제를 이해합니다. 필기 노트를 작성하면서 중요한 구문과 아이디어를 적어보세요.
- 두 번째 단계: 비디오를 다시 보며 발음을 귀 기울여 듣고, 내용을 반복적으로 따라 말합니다. 이 단계에서는 shadowspeak 기술을 활용하여 발음과 억양을 개선할 수 있습니다.
- 세 번째 단계: 각 구문을 자신만의 방식으로 변형해보며 실제 대화에서 사용할 수 있는 다양한 상황에 맞게 적용합니다.
- 네 번째 단계: 친구나 언어 교환 파트너와 함께 연습하여 서로의 발음을 교정하고 피드백을 주고받습니다. 이를 통해 IELTS 스피킹 준비에도 도움이 됩니다.
이 과정을 통해 문제를 해결하는 방법과 사업적 사고를 반영한 구문들을 자연스럽게 습득할 수 있습니다. 영어 말하기 능력을 더욱 향상시키고 싶다면 shadow speech의 활용을 통해 깊이 있는 연습을 이어가세요.
쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
