Today's topic is How To Go From Following Trends To Trendsetting using Growth Hacking Strategies?” - S. A. Grant

The funny thing about trends is the etymology of the word. First, the word Trend comes from the Old English word trendan, 'revolve, or rotate. Secondly, it's compared to the noun: trundle, which means an act of moving slowly or heavily.

The general combining of the words Revolve, rotate, and trundles become defined as "To Move slowly in development of a general rotating direction."
