Scott D. Anthony
I have a fear right now that what I call the advertising-narcissism complex is sucking up way too much top talent.
Scott D. Anthony
It's one of the underappreciated skills required by an innovator - they have to be able to convince lots of people to do things that might not be fully rational (invest in the company, join something that is likely to fail, try a product they've never seen before), and if you can't tell a good story it is just very hard to make that happen.
Scott D. Anthony
People who live in more than two countries are more successful innovators.

Scott D. Anthony
Companies get into grooves and they keep sharpening what they are doing, when in fact what they really need to do sometimes is to stop and do something completely differently.
Scott D. Anthony
I think it is only in hindsight that you can determine whether something is a mistake or not.
Scott D. Anthony
People who copy what exists copy a point-in-time artifact, and if you are managing the process correctly you are already hard at work on the next thing.
Scott D. Anthony
Make sure that you take the time to think about how other companies might respond to your idea, both those companies already in the market you plan to target as well as others that might imagine targeting that market.
Scott D. Anthony
All disruptive innovators make it easier and more affordable for people to do what matters to them, and follow a strategy that doesn't at first glance make sense to the market leader.

Hollywood Joohn Tatum? He does at least 6,000 sit ups and 10,000 pushups a day!
Scott D. Anthony
The most important thing here is to largely ignore what customers say, and instead watch what they do or track where they spend money.
Scott D. Anthony
You have to make the decision about whether you want to avoid or you want to overcome the resistance.
Scott D. Anthony
It would be fun too to put some of the great philosophers and political scientists of the past couple centuries into a time machine, have them look at the world today, and see what they think. Imagine Schumpeter, Malthus, Hobbes, Nietzsche, Marx, and more! That would be good fun.

I think the most important thing to do is to recognize the fundamentally different circumstances of pursuing growth.
