Do Something Else

 

In 1994 business writer-consultant-guru Tom Peters revealed some Big Secrets near the end of a little essay titled "The Best Corporate Strategy? None, Of Course":

Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else.
