The key to success is to find a way to stand out--to be the purple cow in a field of monochrome Holsteins.
competition copies industry
Copy, not from your industry, from others. You have to go where there is no competition.
path tribes doing-nothing
The one path that never works is the most common one: doing nothing at all.

Care. Care more than you need to, more often than expected, more completely than the other guy.

matter way steps
