3. THE NEW REALITY
• WE HEARD ON DAY 1 AND THIS MORNING THAT ALL THAT HAS CHANGED
• TODAYS ‘FACTORY’ COSTS ALMOST NOTHING (LAPTOP, PHONE, WEBSITE, NETWORKS, PASSION)
• EVERY INDUSTRY IS NOW BROKEN DOWN INTO SUB-CATEGORIES, NICHES & MICRO NICHES
– EACH OF WHICH HAS AN INDUSTRY LEADER WHO IS GENERALLY FIRST OR SECOND TO MARKET
• IN THE IDEAS AND SOCIAL ECONOMY THE FIRST SETTLERS CREATE WEALTHAND POWER BY
STAKING THEIR CLAIM TO A NICHE OR MICRO NICHE.
• TODAY ‘OWNING’ A NICHE IS AS VALUABLE AS OWNING LAND
