Entrepreneurs even those who have had a measure of “success”, whatever that word means will forget the number one rule of warfare. “Win or Die”. Ancient cultures from the Greeks, the Chinese and the Spaniards all having traditions of landing on the opponents shores and burning the boats. Alex Blackwell’s post:
“Remove the obstacles and the excuses. Storm the shore with the attitude you will be successful. Set fire to the boat that took you there and watch as it lists in the water and then disappears.
Turn around and look forward; look ahead. Leave your fear and regret at the bottom of the water with the boat and begin moving in the direction you want to go. Surrender to no one or nothing and fully commit. You will get to where you want to go. You will be victorious, too.”
When the only other option is death, victory takes on an urgency
