Test pilot Chuck Yeager famously said: "rules are for those who cannot make up their own." Some rules are good; some aren't. Companies like Sony challenged conventions and created some of the most iconic innovations ever. It feels business are a lot less bold than they were. Probably for a slew of reasons, but intolerance to dissent within the tribe is a big one. To create is to destroy.

It is important to remember that Amazon thinks differently about customer acquisition than the entire digital sector.

It's a universal truth— we do better when we do things with others. It's as valid for business as every other part of life.    It's why we need others, fellow travellers. And it's not just about employing the right people; it's about the other businesses with whom you can collaborate. Across the world, there are thousands of examples of these incredibly strategic partnerships; think Nike and Apple or Uber and Spotify.  Ultimately, the more you enjoy the journey, the more others will want to travel with you. When you recognise that your business is an adventure, every day is an opportunity to discover, learn, and connect with others doing the same. #startwithwhy #businessculturematters #restandrhythm #invest #businessowner #success #smallbusinessrevolution #lovewhatyoudo #travelwithothers #productivity #strategicpartnerships #succeedcommercially #businessowner #knowyourwhy #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner 

Pretty accurate. As Corry Wang notes, the biggest issue was timing as many of these predictions took decades to play out. (Link to all in comments) Does that make them wrong? No. But it influences how you play them. In many cases being early is akin to being wrong. Many a startup had a great idea that was too early. Music streaming, pre-Spotify is a graveyard of “too early” ideas like Rdio, Grooveshark, Musicmatch, etc. So what to do? You don’t need me to tell you that if you’re launching something new there should be a clear “why now?” A technology improvement like broadband speeds for example. What if your business is at risk from potential changes? What if there’s no clear why now yet? That’s trickier, but IMHO one should be allocating a small amount of investment to exploring the fringes of risk to the company and placing bets alongside a longer term thesis Like a portfolio hedge, put options on your business, they may not ever be in the money (a good thing) but position you do protect value and create value in the unlikely case that a disruptive scenario plays out.

The innovator's dilemma in under 10 words.  Don't ask Blockbuster if Netflix is a good idea. Don't ask Kodak if smartphones are a good idea. Don’t ask Hotels if Airbnb is a good idea. and…. Don’t ask Hollywood if VidAngel is a good idea— ask the customer. VidAngel was founded on a powerful simple belief: The viewer is not merely a passive consumer, but an active participant whose preferences shape the experience. Our product is more than a service; It is a movement. Every 𝙞𝙣𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙙𝙚𝙖 starts with doubters… first, they laugh at you, then, they fight you. but when it works, they ALL want to join you. Sentiment expressed by (Mahatma Gandhi) What show have you watched on VidAngel recently?
