You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take

– Sir Roderick Medallon, LHD

The real titans don’t just take shots, they pull the trigger when everyone else is still doing market research.”

Look, Wayne Gretzky had it right about missing shots, but in business, it’s not just about taking them – it’s about making them count. You think Steve Jobs asked for permission to revolutionize phones? Icahn doesn’t send out surveys asking if he should take over a company.

Here’s the brass tacks reality: While your competition is running focus groups and building consensus, the real money is made by those who see the opening and strike. Period. End of story. 

Bitcoin hit $69,000? Maybe more today or less, but it will never be $0.00099 per BTC, again.  Someone took that shot when others said digital currency was a scam. Amazon dominating retail? Bezos took that shot when people laughed at selling books online.

The difference between the winners and the wannabes isn’t just taking shots – it’s having the guts to take the big ones that terrify everyone else. That’s where the real money is. That’s where empires are built.
