satellite, Sputnik 1, on October 4, 1957.

46. Choose a business bible..
1) Make meaning
One of the natural outcomes of making meaning is making money. But if you set up your
company for the purpose of making money, you wont make meaning and you will end up
not making money. Making meaning is the key to making money.
2) Make mantra
Mantra is that one, two, or three word phrase that states what your company, product, or service
is about.
3) Jump to the next curve
The issue is that companies dont adjust. The ice industry shows that perfectly.
Ice 1.0 You went out and found ice in the winter
Ice 2.0 Ice factories are created (people can get ice year round)
Ice 2.0 The Ice Man delivered ice to your home (people didnt have to go get their own ice)
Ice 3.0 The refrigerator was created (people no longer had to depend on the season or a
delivery man for ice) The problem is that the ice factories didnt become delivery men or
refrigerator companies. Adjust and adapt.

4) Dont let the bozos grind you down
As Guy said, ignore the bozos. Also, see #8. :-)
5) Dont worry be crappy
Did the Mac come out perfect the first time? No. What about the iPad? Nope. Neither were
necessarily bad products but they werent perfect the first time and they were able to be
evolved over time. Dont try to perfect your product. It just has to be on the next curve. (See:
The Lean Startup)
6) Let 100 flowers blossom
You may have determined the target market and target use. Then, people who arent your
intended target are using your products in ways it wasnt intended. This is a good thing! Ask
those people why they chose that product for that reason. If you ask your target why they
arent using the product, its more excuses than anything else. You can learn much more from
the people that are using the product.

7) Polarize People
Great products and great services polarize people. You want some people to LOVE your product
versus
8) Churn baby, churn
Great companies and products never stop and they dont let haters keep them down. Great
products become 1.0, then 1.1, then 2.0, then 3.0, and so on. Churn baby, churn.
9) Niche thyself
Where do your products fall in the Unique and Value continuum.
Valuable, Not Unique Great product but lots of competition. Youre interchangeable.
Not Valuable, Unique Youre foolish. You have a product that no one wants.
Not Valuable, Not Unique (Worst) Junk.
Valuable, Unique (Best) The holy grail of marketing. This is where meaning is made, this is
where money is made.

#47: 1) Make meaningOne of the natural outcomes of making meaning is making money. But if you set up your company for the purpose of making money, you wont make meaning and you will end up not making money. Making meaning is the key to making money.2) Make mantraMantra is that one, two, or three word phrase that states what your company, product, or service is about.Take, for example, the mission statement of Wendys restaurant: The mission of Wendys is to deliver superior quality products and services for our customers and communities through leadership, innovation and partnerships.Guy goes on to say that he has 4 kids and has eaten at Wendys 100s of times. Not once did he feel like he was participating in leadership, innovation, and partnerships, instead he thought it was french fries, hamburgers, and Frosties. Thats where the mantra comes in. Wendys mantra should be healthy fast food. Something that everyone can buy into.3) Jump to the next curveGuy believes this is where Steve Jobs lived. Instead of making a better MS DOS machine, he made the Mac. Companies and brands cant keep battling at the same level, they need to jump to the next or create your own. The issue is that companies dont adjust. The ice industry shows that perfectly. Ice 1.0 You went out and found ice in the winter Ice 2.0 Ice factories are created (people can get ice year round) Ice 2.0 The Ice Man delivered ice to your home (people didnt have to go get their own ice) Ice 3.0 The refrigerator was created (people no longer had to depend on the season or a delivery man for ice)The problem is that the ice factories didnt become delivery men or refrigerator companies.
