Hi everyone.
I've just finished reading "The Great Rat-Race Escape". I mostly read it leisurely and didn't think too much about the non-fiction parts. But there's one chapter that stuck with me. Chapter 42 discusses how creating a successful business is all about taking advantage of change and how luck is caused by being an innovator or early adopter. A lot of businesses succeeded because they were there when something was just starting to get popular.
I'm wondering to what extent you should apply this advice. Should your main goal be to be an early adopter of new trends/technologies? Should you assume problems that have been around for a long time aren't worth solving?
