Interesting spin on business planning and strategy. I guess if you know who hates you, then you can plan to counteract that fact.

Thanks, Jason M. Blumer

Paul,

You’re not a believer in the moral of the story of David and Goliath then?

Isn’t this cause and effect the wrong way around.

Book stores hate Amazon because they are taking away their market while at the same time there must be the astonishment that you can get virtually any book within a few days.

But I can see an element of “my enemies, enemy is my friend”. That could be a great way for finding alliance partners although the danger is that two six stone weaklings are never going to defeat a 6 ft six, 18 stone muscle man.

Brilliant, I thought you were going to go the other way and say do not start a business if everyone hates you. I can relate to that.

@Shama,

It works well, another example is the success of Anita Roddick and The Body Shop.

Good points, here, Seth. I’ll be turning in for more as I am in the midst of “business planning” myself. And I guess I shouldn’t be worried about who “I” offend, huh?
