Seth Godin: Survival Is Not Enough
* Change is the new normal.
* Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution can be applied as a metaphor for businesses.
* Only companies that zoom, or learn to adapt and evolve constantly will survive.
* Companies that don't evolve and make change a normal thing are signing up for their own extinction.
* Genes take longer to change over time. Memes, or new ideas, spread at a much faster rate than genes.
* Zooming is about constant change, for no particular reason, and with no particular goal.
* Zooming is less painful. You gradually breed a new kind of species, instead of forcing one to make a big traumatic change.
* Zooming is about stretching your limits by adapting to new ideas, opportunities, and challenges without triggering our inherent human change-avoidance reflex.
* Zooming is about adapting small changes over time.
* You can practice zooming in everyday life: change your office layout, eat in a different restaurant every weekend, listening to a new CD everyday, read a magazine you've never read before, or just do something for the first time, as often as possible.
* Normal can be an environment where new memes appear on a regular basis.
* Companies that zoom do the same thing but try something just a little bit differently each time.
