My World - Overconfidence
Something to be avoided at all costs...

My World - Reset
Sometimes, you have to realign your perceptions.
"You're not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your fucking khakis. You're the all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world." -Tyler Durden
I am Jack's raging Anime dealer.

My World - Expectations
Back in 2005-2006, even I started to think this thing might end up bigger than all of us. That was when we were sinking loads of money into building out our infrastructure.
I was wrong too.

My World - Simplicity
One of the primary concepts behind the design of the RACS store site:
After 12 years I'm still not sure if that's right.

My World - Happiness
Something very important that took me a long time to learn:
This is why we keep doing what we do.

My World - Collaboration
I am a micro-manager (but I've quit 1000 times...) and I like to carve my own path, but my best decisions are usually made after extensive collaboration with others. Sometimes when you think we're just chatting, I'm actually putting an idea or concept through the wash cycle a couple of times.
I need to remember to do that more often.

My World - Planning
When we first started out (years and year ago), I had this concept upside-down for a long time.
"If you build it, they will come" no longer works. Our product no longer sells itself. Everything now revolves around incentives.

My World - Focus
Some things you can change, and some you can't. Some activities are productive, and some aren't. In times like these Focus is really, REALLY important.
In the Anime business, unlike most other businesses, we have the unenviable task of having to compete with 'free'. So you have to focus like a laser beam on what works.
This goes a long way to explain why we do some things, and don't do others. Sometimes we just don't have the luxury.

My World - The Business Cycle
Outliers matter - and can fool you.
One this graph the top of the dotted line in the middle would be April 19th, 2006.
That was the day the R1 market peaked and turned. I'm not quite sure exactly where we are on the right side though...
