Individuals create game-changing ideas
Novel, industry-changing business strategies are typically the product of individual people, not companies, writes Ken Favaro.

This method, referred to as "downward chunking" by Pearce, reduces tasks into smaller, easily achievable activities, which allows you to "easily focus your mind on the priorities that give the best impact."
