We have to be open to the modest return, small business dot coms.  A company of say, 20 people, each making about 150k or so and being completely satisfied with the state of things.<p>I think there&#x27;s a culture of expecting reasonable businesses to seek unreasonable goals.<p>Until the valley can move from &quot;always dream big&quot; to &quot;well sometimes, just plan sensibly&quot;, it will be perpetually unstable.<p>I remember a strip mall across from a corporate office park.  Every couple months, a new .com would go in and another would go out of business, but in the strip mall the same places had been there for 20 years.  The web isn&#x27;t going anywhere, there&#x27;s nothing wrong with providing for the long term.
