How do you forgo fast profit for future success? Life isn’t a race. Bank balance isn’t a score card. Don’t get caught up in the hype. Wealth ALWAYS accrues to the facilitators. Companies that assist entrepreneurs and SMBs are the among the most valuable in the world. Google and Facebook do ads. Stripe and Square handle payments. Amazon and Etsy empower sellers… there are thousands of examples. Today selling shovels sucks. There are many brands, and shovels are a commodity — people do not care. If it moves snow, dirt or sand from A to B, it is probably good enough for me. To be a venture scale opportunity, startups MUST be playing in a winner take most (or all) market. Venture capitalists and angel investors have to shoot for the moon — that is the nature of the power law profile of early stage investing. One or two companies returns the portfolio, the majority die or lurk in obscurity.]]>

Apple and Google are two of the strongest, most profitable tech giants today. But both are in for a kick in the ass, here is why. Disruption is the name of the game. Great businesses die from one of two main reasons: failure to innovate or a powerful disruption. From my vantage point, both Apple and Google are firmly in those categories. In-depth analysis of Apple and Google's core businesses and plans for future growth and expansion.]]>
