Think Small Don't be afraid to focus on the smaller market. For every trend, there's at least one countertrend.

It's actually better sometimes to focus on a smallermarket--one nobody is serving because they're all off cateringto the bigger trend.

And if the trend shifts (as theyalways do), you could end up as the top brand in a fast-growingmarket.
