Quotables:

October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again.
Hal Borland

A wonderful "Customer Centric" approach to downgrading in the real world...one that some day you will be in charge of.

Let's Reflect.  4-5 weeks in and we have had hardly enough time to take a breath.  Let's count the successes on your part and what I can do as well to become a bit more customer centric in my approach in teaching you this new and varied curriculum.

Quotables:

Overstimulated

Time to pay attention to the Weber-Fechner Law.
It's easier to tell the difference between two bags of flour that are three ounces apart in weight when one weighs a pound, than it is to tell the difference between two bags that are three ounces apart when one weighs twenty pounds.
It's easier to tell the difference between two flashlights that are 6 lumens apart when one is just 2 lumens bright than it is to tell them apart when one is 200 lumens.
The more stimulus you're getting (light, sound, pressure, delight, sadness) the less easily you can notice a small change. That seems obvious, but it's worth saying.
If you're entering a market filled with loudness, it's harder to be noticed, even if the incremental benefit you offer seems large to you. If you're trying to delight existing customers, the more delighted they already are, the more new delight you need to offer to turn heads.
One more reason to seek out those that are both interested and underserved.

Quotable:

Curiosity was framed

Avoid it at your peril. The cat's not even sick. (HT to C. J. Cherryh) If you don't know how it works, find out. If you're not sure if it will work, try it. If it doesn't make sense, play with it until it does. If it's not broke, break it. If it might not be true, find out. And most of all, if someone says it is none of your business, prove them wrong.

9/19/2012 Wednesday returns to normalcy on the Ranch

Quotable:

The media wants overnight successes (so they have someone to tear down). Ignore them. Ignore the early adopter critics that never have enough to play with. Ignore your investors that want proven tactics and predictable instant results. Listen instead to your real customers, to your vision and make something for the long haul. Because that's how long it's going to take, guys.
