Be better, be different or be cheaper.

   Read this on Seth Godin's blog today: "be better, be different or be cheaper." This is it in a nutshell. People complain about how they can't find a good paying job or why people don't buy their products. The reason is the people aren't finding a way to be either of the first two and the store/manufacturer isn't finding a way to be any of the three. Or you can choose to blame the government or the economy or China if you prefer. However that is just thinking about your perceived cause of your problem rather than moving forward to the solution. As I've said before: the world has changed. Deal with it.
