Couldn't agree more (both about the fight and about fighting to win). While it's only a slight difference in perspective, it's one important enough to make that difference entirely worth it.

While it’s only a slight difference in perspective, it’s one important enough to make that difference entirely worth it.

Ya see it takes some serious nads these day's to play to win. We have become a very intolerant society. There is no room for error. Everyone is a Monday morning QB looking and waiting for you to screw up so they can capitalize on it. The risks are high in playing to win. The good news, if ya play to win and win, the spoils are big. Ya just gotta have the nads to do it. We ARE a: "No one ever got fired for hiring IBM" society. No doubt! Every a.m. I check my undies . . . an yup still playing to win. Spot on money! Ya see it takes some serious nads these day’s to play to win. We have become a very intolerant society.

And it's not just marketers, it's almost all business. Everyone wants to maintain the status-quo and not take a risk to do something exciting. I don't know if you've ever read Purple Cow by Seth Godin, but the whole book deals with this very subject. Good post. You’re right on the money Cord.
