Summary

Top 3 Value Bombs
1. The most important factor for an entrepreneur is optimism. You’ve got to be resilient and persistent but mostly, you’ve got to be optimistic to get to the other side and be the success that you want to be.
2. The Rising Tide metaphor is asking how you could help a fellow businessman to be successful and then hope and expect that they will do the same.
3. Your success in business is so much a factor of you being out there. Its hard but that skill is worth learning because who you know opens up many doors than what you know or what you have built.
