The Innovator's Dilemma: How Money Ruins Creativity

• lowglow 13y ago
  I'm willing to live in a homeless shelter to realize my goals. I believe when money has no power over a person, they are ultimately empowered to pursue their dreams without repercussion or worry. The best quote I've ever heard was from a billionaire who won and lost his fortune many times over. He was asked why he kept going. His reply was that he had come into the world with nothing, and was going to leave with nothing -- the worst he could ever do was break even. Money is a utility. Money is not a goal.

  In our world money describes your amount of freedom. No money, no freedom. A bad world.

  This isn't really a dilemma. Creativity doesn't vanish once you can afford to do certain things you couldn't previously, well-funded companies just tend to find ways to use the funds available to them to grow (ideally in addition to developing own ideas for new projects). That doesn't mean they don't need creativity to stay or become more profitable.

  I stopped reading at the useless jab at Apple not being innovative.
