Excerpt:
(from Strategy 13: Start a
revolution)
Seeing not the dimmest hope of a
job on the horizon, your thoughts turn lightly to commerce. Why not start my
own company, you think? Then I can have fun laying off my own employees.
This is actually a good idea, but
to succeed in business, you need a revolutionary new product. Say you want to
get into men’s underclothing – your only specialization – you need to come up
with a revolutionary – not revolting – new underwear that will bring the
Y-Front clad hoards screaming into your retail outlet, trampling three innocent
bystanders in the process.
But instead of all that sweat of
thinking up a new product, why don’t you consider starting a revolution itself?
No, I don’t mean a revolution in men’s personal clothing – I mean a real,
honest-to-goodness blood-and-gore revolution. Think Stalin. Think Mussolini.
Think Mao Tse Tung.
