Be Legendary! 23 Entrepreneurial Lessons from Michael Jordan - Part I


15. Be Scared of What You Won’t Become

Entrepreneurs have a very big and long term vision. You as an entrepreneur must keep in mind that it you won’t reach there now, but over time you eventually will. You must look at decisions as if they might compromise what you could become. If you take the easy route and make the wrong decision, you will not become what you should be. That should completely scare you.

14. Make Others Scared of What You Could Become

Your vision should be so mind numbingly ambitious and huge, that it scares Google or other big companies, if they ever thought of entering your market. Today you might be something small, but if you play your cards right, what you end up becoming is scary. The really smart entrepreneurs aren’t scared of the bigger guys as much as they are of the smaller, more agile startups that COULD BECOME who they are now. At some point, everyone was no one.
