He transformed Viacom from a chain of drive-in movie theaters, National Amusements, into a global media powerhouse, controlling 70 percent of the stock. His mantra: “Content is King.” Owning a movie studio meant controlling a steady stream of valuable content, fueling theaters, TV networks, and pay-per-view services.

The key thing to remember is that you cannot brute force your way into any market. If you are met with lackluster response in the early going, it's time to go back to the drawing board, make sense of the feedback, and figure out your next set of moves. Trying to double down or triple down on spending to cross the chasm is a recipe for disaster.
It’s practical to have organized reading material at hand when you’re on your way to a meeting that may be starting late, a seminar that may have a window of time when nothing is going on, a dentist appointment that may keep you waiting, or, of course, if you’re going to have some time on a train or plane. Those are all great opportunities to browse and work through that kind of reading. People who don’t have their Read/Review material organized can waste a lot of time, since life is full of weird little windows when it could be used.
