Product/Service Acceptance, Success Beyond Statistics
| |
| The minute something new, exciting is introduced a few folks say it's going to take over the world in less than five years. After the second year of talking about, writing about the same thing the sucka only has 10% (or less) of the market. Obviously it's a dog, a miserable failure, a stupid idea the guys/gals never should have bothered to think about. What a dumb waste of your time, their money. So we scan the horizons for the next great thing and BAM!!! here it comes over the hill. Whooppee!!! Thank GAWD!!!! In less than five years....
Just doesn't work that way because: 1) mere mortals are slow and it takes them time to understand what it is, why they need/want it and 2) haven't even made good use of the last great thing.
Wine, beer, heck good cheese need to age...so do good ideas.
