The business world is unexpected because the business that your father or his grandfather used to do in the past may not sustain right now. New technologies and the internet are the reasons for drastic changes in several businesses but the demand and need from the customers are also big drivers that are shaping the new industries. In the last few decades, many businesses were started and shut off within years due to changes in the technology and the demand from the customers and many are still doing great as they change themselves according to the market. For example, Blockbuster used to be the biggest DVD retailer chain in the US and Netflix was in the same business but it was on the edge of bankruptcy. But Netflix brought changes and become dynamic. Now it is the leading streaming service while you might not even know Blockbuster ever existed.
So it is all about seeing the opportunity of getting the first-mover advantage and even if you are not the first then you should know how you can sustain in the market and make a big impact on it.
