Out With The New, In With The Old
When it comes to business, somtimes old ways are best.
Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule.
It’s been around for a long time, but NASA’s astronaut screening program, for instance, looks to be up for review.
But sometimes, the freshest approach to business isn’t to come up with some new product or service that’s going to blow everybody away.
I mean, if you can, great, because cutting edge often does work very well:
The radio…
The internet…
However, when you’ve already got a proven product with a successful track record, does it make smart business sense to abandon it?
Not according to the new CEO of Ford.
That’s right, the Taurus is back.
Although there are lots of reasons why killing it off made sense, it’s hard to argue with the designation “best selling car in America.”
Of course, us small business types aren’t exactly moving automobile-sized product around the globe.
But the lesson is the same: All too often, businesses of all sizes can get caught up in trying to go above and beyond their expertise, with predictable results.
Pretend you’re a digital camera: stay focused!
