Thing I’ve been contemplating today about business: “The game you choose to play matters more than how good you are at it.” Not a 100% sold on that being a truism, but can’t find any counterexamples.
Agree with you, but can think of some sort of counterexamples. Walton, Bezos, etc. Very tough game, but a big game, so they had an outsized outcome when they succeeded.

Yeah, for sure. Both retailers interestingly. In their cases, played to the idea that economies of scale in retail are probably more impactful than any other industry. Though Bezos has real 2nd/3rd acts (ex AWS) where Walton didn’t.

Walton, as amazing as he was, is not as good as Bezos, who is otherworldly.
