INSIGHT

Mega Forecasts Often Signal Uncertainty

  • Bold market forecasts (e.g., trillions by 2050) often signal extreme uncertainty, not precision.
  • Analysts project distant massive markets because they lack actionable near-term clarity.
ADVICE

Build Services By Prioritizing Relationships

  • Build your services company on relationships and overdeliver to your first clients so they become evangelists.
  • Recruit top talent early, make them partners, and give meaningful equity to lock in ownership behavior.
