The Project The street artist Banksy has once said: “Don’t sit around and wait for the perfect idea! Leave the house before you find something worth staying in for.” For the social innovator taking his/her first steps is about getting onto the pitch, and by playing the game, experimenting with new ways of making business.

Have a talk about your idea with people from other sectors or walks of life than the ones you represent. Get feedback, input, and criticism, and get inspired by seeing your project in a different light. Be it from a social angle, a business perspective or something entirely different. Either way, chances are that this will make your initiative more sustainable!
