The sport of business is the ultimate competition. It’s 7 × 24 × 365 × forever.

24 × 365 × forever.


It’s not whom you know. It’s not how much money you have.
It’s very simple. It’s whether or not you have the edge and
have the guts to use it.

The edge is knowing that when the four girlfriends you
have had in the last couple years asked you which was
more important, them or your business, you gave the right
answer.

The edge is knowing that you can fail and learn from it, and
just get back up and in the game.

The edge is knowing that people think you’re crazy, and
they are right, but you don’t care what they think.
The edge is knowing how to blow off steam a couple times
a week, just so you can refocus on business.

The edge is knowing that you are getting to your goals and
treating people right along the way, because as good as
you can be, you are so focused that you need regular
people around you to balance and help you.


The edge is being able to confidently call out someone on
a business issue because you have done your homework.

The edge is recognizing when you are wrong and working
harder to make sure it doesn’t happen again.

The edge is being able to drill down to identify issues and
problems and solve them before anyone knows they are
there.

The edge is knowing that while everyone else is talking
about nonsense like the “will to win” and how they know they
can be successful, you are preparing yourself to compete
so that you will be successful.
