A great little book - "Outsmart! How to Do What Your Competitors Can't" by Jim Champy - has some great pointers that will give you an edge over your competition in any field and in many areas of your life. Here are the lessons I took away from it:
- Find out what your customer base wants or needs, from them. Don't assume.
- Don't stop thinking about tomorrow.
- Try ideas that are outside your industry.
- A complaint is an opportunity for you to improve.
- Don't compartmentalize your knowledge; apply everything you know to challenges.
- Don't tackle problems to which you have no special resources to bring to the table.
- Good ideas are rare and precious! When you have one, pursue it!
