A role model once said: “If you work for 10-15 years at a company, pouring your heart into the work, by the time you retire or quit, you should be ready to run your own company”.
Many people do not want to pour their heart into what they think is “another man’s work”. They do just enough to survive any performance review and just get on day-by-day.
They may quit and start their own companies, now hoping to put in their best, but they lack the skills, knowledge and work ethic needed to sustain the new venture and so, they start a cycle. Crashing and burning through business ventures repeatedly… Until they finally learn everything they needed to learn, the hard way.
Every master you see today was once an apprentice.
