You can become rich disrupting established industries
Go where the money already is flowing
Before Apple, already was Blackberry.
Before Google, already was Yahoo!
And before Facebook, we already had MySpace.
Things used to be slower in the business world:
- IBM was founded in 1911.
- HP was founded in 1939, and
- Wang Computers in 1951 (this no longer exists).
Those companies seem so venerable today, but back in the day they offered cutting-edge technologies to the world. And dominated their markets years upon years.
With the advent of the internet and a globally connected world, businesses are faster than usual. And so corporate life is.
Big tech companies are always in the look for their nemesis. They are afraid that from the bushes near them an enemy will jump and eat their jugular. And they have a historical-sound basis to fear that scenario.
Because as the iPhone killed the Blackberry, as Google killed Yahoo! and as Facebook eat MySpace´s lunch, could be that a new incumbent suddenly appears out of nowhere and promptly cannibalizes one of those -apparently- invincible tech companies.
