Investment is the noblest activity for an ideal manPosts RSS

    1. What compelling reason exists for people to give you money? (or votes or donations)
    2. How do you acquire what you’re selling for less than it costs to sell it?
    3. What structural insulation do you have from relentless commoditization and a price war?
    4. How will strangers find out about the business and decide to become customers? (source)

 

這句我也很喜歡:”Once you build a network, it’s extremely difficult for someone else to disrupt it.”  站在能量守恆定律的立場,這很公平。我們看到的各種 network 效應都是用數千小時心力去經營出來的,然而從旁觀者的角度來看,network effect 似乎是擺在那邊就會自己匯聚成型一般。所以通常故事結局都是這樣:眼紅的競爭者看到亮麗結果,也想跳進去模仿 (衝阿!社群無敵!衝阿!網路無敵!),但俯衝之際就被進入門檻拌了一跤。嘿,沒想到進入門檻這般高。有多高?大概有三、四層樓那麼高。
