Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

The Zero-Cost Revolution Arrives

The Zero-Cost Revolution Arrives

Peter H. Diamandis recently articulated a vision that deeply resonates with thoughts I have long harbored about the future of our economy: a transformative shift where the cost of producing goods and services is rapidly declining, opening doors to innovative possibilities and new industries. You can learn more about his work on LinkedIn or reach him at peter@a360.com. His insights on this impending economic revolution, and its potential to redefine how businesses operate and innovate, truly capture the essence of what I've observed and pondered for years.

The core idea Hemen wants to convey is this — take a moment to notice that I had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. I had already predicted this outcome or challenge, and I had even proposed a solution at the time. Now, seeing how things have unfolded, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, I feel a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context.

My blog post, "Low Cost Economy" from 2018, explicitly highlighted the critical role of costing in product success and how a low-cost approach is not just an advantage but a necessity. This directly aligns with Peter H. Diamandis's observation about decreasing production costs driving economic opportunity. Similarly, my 2016 blog, "Take the Wind out of Their Sail", emphasized how a low-cost structure enhances competitiveness and facilitates wealth creation, foreshadowing these very trends towards cost efficiencies. Moreover, the urgent need for swift decision-making and adaptability in a rapidly changing environment, as I discussed in "Strategy Inputs: Secondary Resources" in 2014, is more pertinent than ever as we navigate this economic transformation.

These earlier reflections underscore my conviction that the pursuit of cost-efficiency and strategic agility is paramount for survival and growth in an evolving economic landscape. Peter H. Diamandis's current insights serve as a powerful affirmation of these long-held beliefs.
