Growing industries

I'm doing research for my next business venture. I had a chance to have lunch today with a great businessman and mentor. We talked about business and he gave me some great advice. When we discussed the idea of starting a new company, he told me to focus on industries that are growing and have great growth potential. He said, "You wouldn't start a company that made stage coaches . It just wouldn't make sense." In business, why focus on industries that are declining. Focus on industries with potential for growth
