It’s clear people don’t buy everything Google does, but what do we buy? Googlers are crazy enough to try a lot of things. Buzz and Wave flopped, while Instant has saved humanity almost one million hours each day with faster search. Their Nexus One phone flopped, while the Android took off, selling even faster than the iPhone.They rent goats to mow their lawns and created a driverless car.Google is full of opportunists, tinkerers and experimental designers.

Is there a method to their madness that we don’t see? Friends, i tell you yes! In an age when no business can rest on its laurels for very long, they recognize their next big hit will be a product innovation far from their current business (Search).

This car idea is great, and no auto industry whose only concern is their bottom line can develop this amazing piece of machinery. I commend Google for their ability to run a giant, successful company while simultaneously encouraging employees to pursue a passion for invention without fear of being shut down by management.

Don't be locked down in the corporate world out there where inventions and innovations don't happen. Like Google, smart out your time, energy and maybe money innovating the next change even if people don't buy all. You next big winner might not be related to anything you're currently doing.


Like my dad (Johnson Abbaly) will say -> Find your HotSpot in 2011 because we are stepping in soon.
