As entrepreneurs, we make bets everyday. We are gamblers―gambling ourhard-earned money on labor, inventory, rent, marketing, etc., all with the hopesof a higher pay out. Oftentimes, we lose. But, sometimes, we win and win BIG. However, there is a difference between gambling in business and gamblingin a casino. In a casino, the odds are stacked against you. With skill, you canimprove them, but never beat them. In contrast, in business, you can improveyour skills to shift the oddsin your favor. Simply stated, with enough skill, youcan become the house.
