I've said this before for those that have read my post from a while back

I was at a company back in the late 90's that was considering buying Salesforce

Don't know if it was forsale or a deal could be worked out, but we decided to go down our own path in a similar fashion

The company I was with had over 50 startups under their belt

I know for a fact Salesforce morphed a number of times

It's the only reason why they are worth what they are today

If a startup sticks to a plan, they will fail 99% of the time in my view

You don't know what you don't know when you are charting new territory

When I run a project, I will recommend a PoC and/or a pilot

It is a smart approach to invest a little, before in invest millions

Not wise in my opinion to charge ahead, without any course adjustment

Too many startups, even with out the corrupt OTC hacking them to bits, at the bottom of the sea

I can tell you for a fact, I've seen Adobe, Microsoft and other large giants pivot

I can also give you a long list of those that didn't

Technology changes every few years

If you don't change and adapt, you are out
