Life is a Game

Posted on 12 March 2010

’Some Europeans think life is a game - to the English, cricket is a game’. A nice quote which begs the question - ‘how well are you playing?’

One of the keys to success was very well described by the great sprinter Michael Johnson. ‘You have to run your race’.

Not even a start up is a blank sheet of paper - it is a collection of individuals, each with a personality and character influenced by their experience. An established enterprise has a whole lot more historical baggage!

What matters is that your business works at being really good at what you are unique at. Competitive benchmarking and crowd sourcing are great sources of information and market intelligence, but they are not substitutes for the hard work of developing your proposition and delivering it to the market better than the other guys.
