Lesson #3: Dare to Take a Chance and Be the First
| |
| Monaghan is fond of saying, “I owe all my success to stupidity.” In reality, the emergence of Domino’s as a global pizza empire owes itself less to the fact that Monaghan didn’t know what he was doing, as to the fact that he was willing to take risks and gamble on ideas he couldn’t predict the odds or the outcome of. |

How to Change the World: Defensibility

Stupid People Stupid Questions
| |
| No doubt, you have often heard it said, "There are no stupid questions," or, "The only stupid question is the question you didn't ask."
Although these statements-of-truth are often repeated, over the years I have found that very, very few people ever really ask the questions they should.

Leadership Courage --- Don't Get Bit by Your Own Rattlesnake
| |
| Honest negative feedback is difficult to accept. It takes tremendous courage. I learned that twenty years ago. I thought I knew just about everything there was to know about running a company let alone a smaller $100 million dollar division.

I even had a rattlesnake sitting on my desk with a statement that can’t be printed exactly as it appeared, due to censorship. |

Website Idiosyncrasies & Content Duplication Idiocies
| |
| The laziest amongst us, those with an allergy to original thought, and those who hate writing the most are almost always adamant that unique content is over-rated, unnecessary or even pointless. One of the website content frustrations I frequently endure is the failure, on the part of others, to comprehend the value of accuracy and uniqueness. There is intransigence in that respect, particularly on the part of some designers of e-commerce and content management systems. It is indicative of 3 parts of ignorance, arrogance and stupidity, in almost equal measure... |
