DJ'ing - not the wedding or corporate event type - is two things:
- Sometimes you give the room what it wants
- Sometimes you give the room what it needs
The better you are at the latter, while leading the room to believe it's the former, the more you're able to make a name for yourself.
On the other hand, simply banging out the obvious, with no story, no journey isn't special. It will only get you so far. Who is going to champion average, if not forgettable?
Yeah, I suppose startups are the same. Safe will only get you so far. Better to skate to where the puck is going to be.
- camwest 4y agoI think you've hit the nail on the head. Balancing is crucial, and taking calculated risks can help set you apart. It's all about skating to where the puck is going to be, as you said.
- chiefalchemist 4y agoFyi...the puck bit was something I read in Forbes years ago that the hockey legend Wayne Gretzky had said. No need for disruption. No need for innovation. Just skate to where the puck is going to be. :)
