The sport of business is the ultimate competition. It's 7 × 24 × 365 × forever.
Even when I had nothing, I had everything. Because I love to compete.
You never win any games you don't play.
Once you are prepared and you think you have every angle of preparation covered, you have to go for it.
As far as businesses, I was always hustling. I had to pay for my own school. I got 20 bucks every week or 2 from my dad and that was it. So I had a "whatever it took" attitude.
One problem people have is that they lie to themselves. Rarely is talent enough. You have to find ways to make yourself standout. You do so by playing to your strengths and making people aware of those strengths.
