“Whatever you want, we’ll make more.”

I was at a technology investing conference this week, and a leading venture capitalist was describing how responsive that business can be. If people want apps for their phone, they’ll make more. If people want new e-commerce models, they’ll make more.

When I’m tired or cranky or sad, I tend to blame the “theys”. They don’t make good movies anymore, they overcharge me for bad coffee, they don’t leave me time to go for a walk or to read a good book.

But here is the wonderful, terrible truth: we are the they.

So let’s think a little more carefully, dear Honeybees; what do we want?

Whatever it is, they’ll make more.
