But those big companies didn’t get there first.
History is littered with companies that were too big to beat. The secret is obvious but difficult: find a better way and people that agree it’s a better way. Look at Cirrus Aircraft for a relatively recent example — they tackled an ultra regulated, expensive business and are now the best selling GA airplane
- musgrove 7y agoThose big companies may not have gotten there first but they moved the quickest to buy the companies that did. That's how many not-so-big companies became "those big companies."

- K0SM0S 7y agoThat is exactly my view too. You win by being better than whatever else exists at the time.
