Timing Beats Brilliance

Innovation doesn't come from big leaps... it comes from combining things that already exist in new ways.

Every breakthrough is one step beyond what was previously possible.

You can't skip steps.

The iPhone wasn't magic.

It combined touchscreens, internet, cameras, and music players that already existed.

This is why timing matters more than brilliance. The adjacent possible opens and closes like a door.

Show up too early or too late, and nobody cares how clever your idea is.
