How to Turn Your Stuff into a “Forever-Brand’

I am a devotee and snob about strategy, yes this is true.  It’s because I know that businesses that have solid strategies are building scalable Forever-Brands, and will bring the world value now and still be around next year and the year after…(even if you end up looking different in a few years, that’s good – strategy requires you to evolve).
