A quick short read one should must explore. Purpose: To build enduring, compounding business value ("Power" = sustainable differential advantage). Few build Power while other chase growth. #Hamilton Helmer breaks it down into 7 defensible advantages: • Scale Economies - costs drop as you grow (think Amazon logistics)
 • Network Effects - every new user adds value (Facebook, Airbnb)
 • Counter-Positioning - a model incumbents can’t copy without hurting themselves (Netflix vs Blockbuster)
 • Switching Costs - too painful to leave (Salesforce, AWS) • Branding - meaning > marketing (Apple, Nike) • Cornered Resource - exclusive asset no one else can access (early Pixar talent) • Process Power - internal systems competitors can’t replicate (Toyota’s lean ops) Note - Without Power, growth is fragile. With Power, growth becomes gravity
