I think you are right about producing the best product possible. This is true in every walk of life... We must stay ahead of the curve, and work hard to stay there.

A great support system, mentor or mastermind group can help minimize the ugly baby syndrome. Make sure there is a market for your better product.

That's because we're living in an era of truly radical change in the world and the economy...driven by the internet.The internet really is a "disruptive" technology that impacts on pretty much everything. I'd suggest that we're only at the start of the changes that we'll see. So...this a Good News / Bad News situation. On balance it's GREAT news because the world will get a lot richer and we'll have opportunities that we can't even imagine. The bad news is it means that we'll need to be open to change...and let's face it, few of us like to have to change. A great book to help understand what's going on in the world today is "The Sovereign Individual" by James Dale Davidson and William Rees Mogg. It was written over 10 years ago and it's fascinating to see some of the things it discusses unfolding. Thanks again for a thought provoking post! Ray,

I saw raw fear in his eyes. Not a pretty sight in a grown man. I will not see him next year, I don't think. The irony is that I think I can see a newer business for his company. But it would mean massively downscaling and still taking a huge risk. That's easier to recommend from the outside than to implement from the inside.
