Footprint - noun, the impression left by a foot or shoe on the ground or a surface. Synonym: Impression.

Many people have left great impressions of themselves - some shared their ideas, some warned about the consequences of not taking action against something, and some build masterpieces. What's common among them all? They make sure that what they are doing stands out. How do they do that? They innovate.

When it was said that flying is impossible, the Wright brothers prove them wrong. When it was said that landing into the moon was impossible, astronauts proved them wrong. When it was said that we can't make smaller computers that we can bring anywhere, we are proven wrong.

Innovation is not just about building a product or a service and leaving it as it is - trends change, people's choices change, and in the blink of an eye, what seemed to be their greatest idea is not that great yet. "There has to be something better," says another.

This also applies to your business - there are great ideas out there, we just have not realized it yet. The better way to discover this is by pointing out a problem that your business can provide a solution for. That will be the framework for your business now and in the future. Don't let everyone tell you it's impossible until you try.

To sum it up, Innovators leave great footprints because they knew what's up, and they won't stop at nothing to prove everyone that they are wrong and it's possible.
