My best business advice.

I’ve been asked for my best business advice.

Here it is:

Look around for someone who — for whatever reason — is a genius at business.

I’m now 68, been working since I was 18, and have stumbled upon only 4 people that would qualify.  These people are hard to come by.

Given that, look around for a company that is hot, hot, hot!   Soaring.

Find a way to get a job at that company.

Don’t be picky about what your job will be.  As they say, if you get offered a ride on a rocket ship, you don’t ask what seat you’re getting.  You just get on.

Learn that business inside-and-out.  Especially learn the weaknesses.

Fix those weaknesses and go out and start your own competitive business.
