Understanding a niche
When reading and watching television shows about such people
like Andrew Carnegie, John Rockerfeller, Henry Ford, E.I.DuPont,
and Bill Gates I take note that all of them started with a small
niche market. And - for some time - when I looked at their
beginnings I would fantasize about doing what they did and then
realize that most of what I fantasized about was being rich like
them. (Not a good thing if it doesn't help you make that first
step.) So recently I began to pay attention to the evolution of
these niche market Mega-Industries and noticed that over the
years the enhancements, improvements, and device add-ons were
done by people who weren't trying to re-invent these Industries,
but to help make them better. And I might add made a good living
at doing it. So, about a couple of months ago, I was watching a
television show about a Department store in New York that holds
an annual contest for inventors and their inventions. One of
these got my attention - a battery operated crescent wrench - (
you press a button and the jaws open and/or close to the size of
a nut you may want to tighten or loosen). In my current
employment I use a manual crescent wrench on a regular basis;
and of late I find it woefully inadequate and obsolete,
(although I ask it to hang tough until the battery operated one
comes to market). I think now - the man who invented this wrench
found his niche when he came up with an eloquent and simple
enhancement that shuold prove to be useful. Maybe soon I will
find my niche - who knows maybe my next generation will add to
it enough to buy Microsoft; if not, I hope to be one of those
enhancers who help to improve or add value to people's lives. I
wish sincerely that your niche, whether large or small, brings
you closer to your dreams.

videos (about 12 hours) are free. Honestly FREE. It's the kind
