The remainder of each paragraph is mine, as I believe the point relates to what we do in our profession. Solve problems better and faster. I went to value pricing as my strategy when I began my practice to show clients that I can help them without a meter running, with a fixed investment cap, and with the confidence that their people could ask for my help without having to request budgetary approval. Clients, accustomed to hourly billing, thought this met their needs better and faster and never argued with the principle. Don't get carried away by the success of one venture or service.
Success is never final, and often is situational.
Find the cause of the success, and emulate that. Don't shun the classics, reinvent them. There is nothing new under the sun. Don't think you have a novel way of doing anything. Communication needs remain constant, for example, but e-mail has changed the pace and nature.
