Noise consistently dominates signal in business-building. Your key strength will be luck. Your second key strength will be flexibility in adapting to all the noise around you. Market conditions, people, technology, even the global economy, will change all around you. How will you respond? Have you trained to master a particular move? Or have you trained to master the art of making whatever move is needed in that very moment? Most entrepreneurs train for the former. They do not train to adapt their business to changing conditions, they train to execute on a particular move, which may be the entirely wrong move halfway through its action. Mister Miyagi says it best… Daniel: When do I learn how to punch? Miyagi: Better learn balance. Balance is key. Balance good, karate good. Everything good. Balance bad, better pack up, go home. Understand?
