I don’t even think you can give those buckets away now.
You ever wonder why great product disappear?
I mean sure they had a few flaws, actually they were one of the better one’s if my memory serves me right…
Regardless…the reason why they are now better hockey pucks than music players is because the company that made them, thought that the people were buying music players, so they set out to make the absolute best music players.
But what people really were buying was a conveniently portable music experience…
Welp Mr. Jobs –his friends called him Steve– stepped up and said that his “computer company” would produce this experience (with less song capability to boot) and the rest is iPod history.
So what can we learn from this?
Well I learned that if you really get to the core of what people want in life, be it more music, convenience, or fitness you can really start getting into the heart of what is truly innovative.

Why, is not where your complete your journey, but it can shed some light on certain issues that may need a new beginning.

P.S. When you’re wrong you’re wrong and sometimes it takes others to point out those mistakes. You gotta drink your medicine sometimes, right?
Anyhoo, I’m fortunate to have a supportive group of people that have helped me get to the point I am in life. I have a feeling that they might be able to help you too.
