Google was late to search.
Facebook was late to social networking.
Apple was late to the MP3 Player.
Where would we be if they listened to everyone who said they were too late?
It’s never too late. Just do it better.
We all know that the pace is high – the world seem to radically change with each roll-out of devices, software etc. But the focus on the “new” may hinder us from understanding that just beacuse someone has launched something it is not too late to build business value or even business success. Over the last month the web has been bursting with thought about Steve Jobs who recently passed away and his ability to “connect the dots”. I must say that it is inspirational to honor his boldness and I guess sometimes stubborn way of working and to “Just do it better”.
A qoute that relates to this line of thought is:
“The task is…not so much to see what no one has yet seen; but to think what nobody has yet thought, about that which everybody sees.”
