The Effort Factor
January 8th, 2008
Having run a small business of my own, I can wholeheartedly agree with Mark Cuban when he says, “The only thing any entrepreneur, salesperson or anyone in any position can control is their effort.”
I especially agree with his point that you cannot judge success by the amount of time you spend at the office (or wherever you work), but on the results you are getting. This means being brutally honest with yourself, especially when engaging in valuable self-assessment. I know this to be very true.
I also love this quote, left in the comments of Mark’s post:
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
Apparently this is a John Woooden quote. Something worth remembering. I think that this type of attitude not only applies to business, but to anything in life in which you want to succeed.
