I heard a useful rule about predicting success during my (failed) attempt at creating a hit Dilbert animated TV show. While watching the Dilbert pilot being tested on a focus group, an experienced executive explained to me the most non-intuitive way to predict success. Since then Ive observed it to be true a number of times. It goes like this: If everyone exposed to a product likes it, the product will not succeed. Think about that for a minute before I explain why everyone liking something predicts failure. If you get this answer right, Im guessing that you are already successful yourself. Tell me in the comments if Im right about that. Read the full posting by Scott. It may help you be successful! Technorati Tags : Dibert, Scott+Adams, failure, success Powered By Qumana |
