The market is constantly asking us what we want. Not what we want to buy or sell, but whether we want to keep going in our businesses and what we’re willing to give up in exchange for success. Sometimes we’re presented with a choice to sell out our business’ soul. I’m not saying that we shouldn’t sell when the time is right. What I am saying is that sometimes we are offered a price for the soul of the company. We can sell out the thing that makes our business unique.
My advice: don’t sell out. The solutions seem present themselves if we keep pushing. It’s not always clear what the solutions are, but if we’re willing to slug it out with the market, they’ll come.
