learn to put constraints on yourself and make things happen within constraints otherwise ...your mind will wander in all directions without you hitting your target

1) always ask yourself how someone could preempt your products or service. How can they put you our of business? is it hte price? is it service ? is it ease of use?
No product is perfect and ig there are good competitors in your market , they will figure out how to abuse you. It's alwasys better if you are honest with yourself and anticipate where the porblems will come from.
2) Alwasys run your business like you are going to be competing with biggest technology companies in your industry - google, facebook, oracle, microsoft, whomever. Them may not be your direct competitors. They may be a vendor. they may be a direct competitot and a vendor. Whatever they may be to your business, IF you are in the technology business in any way shape or form, you have to anticipate theay you will have to compete with one of them at some point. I ask myself every week what I would do if they entered any of my businesses. If you are ready to compete with the big guys, you are ready to compete with anyone.
3) Real competition comes from the sport of busines - In sports, you know who your opponents are. you know when you are going to play a game. You know pretty much how long the game will last. It's mentally and physically exhausting if you are at the top of the game, but it still pales in comparison to the effort required to be successful in business.
The sport of business isn't divided into games. It's not defined by practice. It not defined by practices. It doesn't have set rules that everyone plays by.
The sport of business. I love the competition. I love the fire of it. It's the feeling of the clock winding down, the ball in your hands , and if you hit the shot you win....all day, every day.
4) that's what success is all about. It's about the edge.- its 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.
Relaxing is for the other guy. I may be sitting in front of the TV, but I'm not watchin it unless I think there is something I can learn from it. I'm thinking about things I can use in my business and the Tv is just there.
I could take the time to read the fiction book, but I dont. I would rather read websites, newspaper, magazines, looking for Ideas and concepts that I can use. I spend time in bookstores because one idea from a book or magazine can make me money.
I am not going to go to dinner with you to chat. I'm not going to give you a call to see how you are. Unless you want to talk business. Other guys play fantasy sports. I fire the synapse to get an edge.
the Edge is getting so jazzed about what you do, you just spent 24 hours straight working on a project and you thought only a couple of hours had passed.
The edge is knowing that you have to be the smartest guy in the room when you have your meeting and you are going to put in the effort to learn whatever you need to learn to get there.
The Edge is knowing that you have to be the smartest guy in the room when you have your meeting and you are going to put in the effort to learn whatever you need to learn to get there.
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 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.
That's what makes business such an amazing sport.

The one thing in life you can control: Effort
In sports, the only thing a player can truly control is effort. The same applies to business. The only thing any entrepreneur, salesperson or anyone in any position can control is their effort.
I had to kick myslef in the ass and recommit ot geetting up early, staying up late and consuming everything I possibly could to get an edge. I had to commmit to making the effort to be as productive as I possibly could. It meant making sure that every hour of the day that I could contact a customer was selling time, and when customers were sleeping, I was doing things that prepared me to make more sales and to make my company better.
And finally , I I had to make sure I wasn't lying to myself about how hard I was working. It would have been easy to judge effort by how many hours a day passed while I was at work. That's the worst way to measure effort. Rffort is measured by setting goals and getting results. What did I need to do to close this account?
what did I need to do to win this segment of business? what did I need to do to understand this technology or that business better tahn anyone? what did I need to do to find an edge?
"of course a great effort meant looking the part when I was giving a presentation at microsolutions!"

what are you destined to be?
Going to college should be about experiencing as much academically as you possibly can, but more importantly , it should be about learning how to learn and recognizing that learning is a lifetime endeavour. School isn't the end of the learning process , it's purely a training groud and beginning.
..........................................................................................................................................
No matter how many times you fail- you only have to be right once
The point of all this is that it doesn't matter how many times you fail. It doesn't matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, neither should you . All you have to do is learn from them and from those around you because.....
All that matters in business is that you get it right once.
Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.

Protect yourself
Everyone is a genius in a bull market
Entrepreneurs have to be brutally honest with themselves and recognize where they
have added value and where they have gone along for the ride. There is nothing wrong with going along for the ride and making money at it, but it will catch up with you if you lie to yourself and give yourself credit for the ride.
Win the battles you are in before you take on new battles
get the fundamental right and then add to your base skills before you try to take on the trick shots.
You can drown in opportunity
choose the zoom level you want to work on... and make sure the quality is consistent on all zoom levels....
Cuban rules:
1) Sweat equity is the best startup capital
these investors, including myself, know what you don't , and they are not telling you. the minute you ask for money, you are playing in their game - they aren't playing in yours. You are at a huge disadvantage, and it's only going to get worse if you take their money.
