Business Genius or Complete Dumbass?

November 11, 2012 by Brendon Sinclair

I have a mate who has just had some long awaited business success.

This is what he told me after he made the massive deal:

“I’m not sure if I was stupid for persevering with the business for so long,
Or smart to stick with the business with full faith it would be successful.”

The answer to that is this:

If your perseverance pays off and you can hang on long enough to see the business to success, then you’re very, very smart.  And everyone looking in thinks you’re a business genius.

If you can’t hang on and you lose everything, well, then you’re a dumb ass for wasting your time, money and family’s financial future on a stupid idea.

And everyone looking in thinks you’re a complete failure.

It’s A Fine Line

Every half decent businessman/woman I know understands the absolute truth that it’s a fine, fine line between rip-roaring success and bankruptcy.

Success can sometimes depend on just showing up.
