Amazing 2009: 7

The Back Story:

A Possible Forecast for 2009

Step 1:  Getting Self-Discipline.

Step 2:  JFDI or Making It Happen.

Step 3:  Grabbing Opportunities in a Shrinking Pie.

Step 4:  Manage What You Can.

Step 5:  Sweat It. Easily.

Step 6:  Hope and Learn.

Step 7: use the best of old, but add difference.

More than ever before: be distinct or extinct. Become different. You have three routes to difference. Product. That's slow to change and ultimately copyable. Company; your firm. That's trickier to replicate. Your unique culture, way of working. And there's you. Now that's impossible to replicate. Put the three together: product+company+you. Unstoppable: that's what people buy. Get serious, very serious about being different.
