CHAPTER 12

Keep Fighting to Win

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.

—Thomas A. Edison

Realize that creating anything of note can’t be easy. When building a business empire, you will have to demonstrate grit, determination, and resilience. You will encounter numerous obstacles that you will have to overcome. You will have to persevere through hardships. You will have to fall and get up many times. You will have to keep fighting until you reach your goals.

Get Serious and Commit to Success

If you want to achieve great things in business, you need to commit to success. Stop playing games and get serious.

I asked Manny Stul, the World Entrepreneur of the Year 2016, what advice he would give to young people around the world who dream of becoming a winner. His answer was about passion and love for what you do, and “the commitment, the sacrifices you have to make. In sport, for example, it’s training; if it’s a business, it’s long hours. You can’t be half-pregnant in this. You’ve got to be fully committed to it. So the advice to young people: find something that you love doing, be passionate about it, and commit to it totally.”

You need to put yourself in a situation where you are challenged to succeed. This is what Jack Cowin did. His early life had been taking place within a 100-mile radius of where he had lived in Ontario, Canada. And then he went to Australia, to a far-away continent, to start a business. This was a great challenge but also a big commitment.

Cai Dongqing says “If you set a goal, there is no other choice than to achieve it.”

You can’t be half-pregnant in this. You’ve got to be fully committed to it.

Be Willing to Compete, Fight!

Nobody will give you anything in this world. You need to fight for what you want but also fight for your right. So you should not only dare to dream big, but also dare to fight for your dreams.

Have a strong will and know what you want.

This is how Frank Hasenfratz got his first contract and started his own business:

I worked at Sheepbridge Engineering. I went to our general manager and said, “I want you to fire my boss. I can’t work with him. He is intelligent, and I admire a lot of the things he does, but he doesn’t recognize when he’s wrong.”

Stubbornness is good, but not to the point where it’s detrimental to your job. And my boss was so stubborn. We were manufacturing a part for Ford Motor Company, and we machined it the wrong way. But you’ve got to do it like this because my boss wanted so.

I said to the general manager, “I want you to fire him, or I quit.” He said, “I guess you quit.”

Frank knew a much better and cheaper way to manufacture the part.

I said, “Contract me with the job for the cost of the scrap you have.
