<p>I saw this quote by Charles Darwin today&#8230;</p>
<h3><span style="color: #800000;">&#8220;<em><strong>It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change.&#8221;</strong></em></span></h3>
<p>Had he not been the most influential naturalist of all time, he could have easily turned his hat at being a Business Coach!</p>
<p>Change the word &#8217;species&#8217; to &#8216;businesses&#8217; and you&#8217;ll see what I mean.</p>
<p>I believe we are at the cusp of a fundamental change in the evolution of marketing.  Old school &#8216;push, push, push&#8217; marketing is becoming extinct.  New age marketing is becoming the dominant species.</p>
<p>Why?  Because it&#8217;s the consumers that are now in charge of the evolution of your product or service.</p>
<p>Those Businesses that adapt will carry on.  Those that don&#8217;t, wont.  Those that change &#8216;half-arsed&#8217; will be the missing links&#8230;.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s the quote again.  Please read it, print it and pin it up where you can see it everyday.</p>
