If you only look at what was and what is to shape what might be, things are going to be extremely difficult.

At any point in time, the market is cluttered. It is challenging to compete with incumbents, new players, alternatives, and outsiders. If you want to excel, it is going to be an uphill battle, on many fronts, and more often than we care to admit we do not have a good enough product or service to win this.

If we take a look at the future from any point in time, instead, a wealth of possibilities open up. Among those is the market that is not cluttered now, but will be soon enough.

That is where you want to be.
