The Entrepreneurial Spirit

There is a huge misunderstanding in today's society about entrepreneurship. Most people think entrepreneurship is about coming up with a great business idea, implementing the idea and making money. I’ve heard people say, “let’s come up with an app and get rich quick!” That's delusional.

The greatest ideas come in the most unexpected ways at the most unexpected times. Meanwhile, don't forget, your first idea may not be your best idea.

Back in 1994, I was on a crowded train headed into work. The Rangers had just won the Stanley Cup and I saw a photo of Mark Messier holding the Stanley Cup after snapping the New York Rangers title drought on the back page of every passenger’s newspaper. As I looked at the photo, I envisioned a signed photo that my company could sell as a signed item to die-hard Rangers fans, just like me. 

As I examined how I spent my time at work, I found that I was SOS - Stuck On Stupid. I had always prided myself on being resilient in the face of possible failure. I embodied all those messages: Don’t quit! Fight through it! Keep going! Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of those qualities. The problem was that sometimes my ideas sucked, and I was too stubborn to realize it.

As an entrepreneur, don’t let your ego swell to the point that you are SOS. Looking back at the end of Steiner, I should have been a better quitter and let go of bad ideas.

To help me move forward, I developed a three-step process to test if my ideas were worthwhile: dream big, sample small, fail fast.

I like to say that losing gives you the blueprint for winning.

Great ideas usually start with big dreams. When I dream big, I visualize a goal that I want to achieve. That’s when the path to that achievement begins to take shape.

I know the destination. The question is: How do I get there from where I am now?

  • The need for more legitimate hacking companies are rising each passing day because of the magnitude of scams being run on the Internet. I know what I went through before I was able to contact Osecybersailing to work on my case after getting scammed multiple times and trying to retrieve back my lost investment funds. After I have invested $670k usd with a fraudulent crypto investment company and i lost everything in the space of one month and got scammed again and again trying to find a solution which wasn’t easy to come by given the circumstances that brought about the incident, getting scammed multiple times is never a good experience for anyone involved which was what exactly happened to me when I got scammed investing into crypto currency. Many posing on the Internet as hacking companies aren’t really what they are because most of them are scammers waiting for a prey to devour, I got referred to reach out to Osecybersailing through a friend and after I investigated about their legitimacy I came across many of their testimony from their satisfied clients that got their lost investment funds retrieved working with this legitimate and evergreen hacking institute which also changed my story helping me retrieve back my lost investment funds. Many of the testimony really were saying great and worthy things about how the company saved them from financial loss, I decided to hire them after many consideration and they didn’t disappoint me by making the choice of choosing them after what I have experienced lately trying to get my funds back from the scammers. They proved they can be trusted with the recovery of lost investment funds which is why I wrote this down for other victims of scam who wishes to ever retrieve back their lost investment funds to let Osecybersailing solve their case, they’re worthy and has what it takes to restore back your funds and peace of mind.
