If you’re not aware of the movie, “Rounders”, it’s basically about the dark side of underground high-stakes poker. Movies like this easily correlate to business. For instance, the main character, Michael McDermott says,

“Why do you think the same five guys make it to the final table of the World Series of Poker EVERY YEAR? What, are they the luckiest guys in Las Vegas?”

Similar sentiment can be expressed about entrepreneurs that start one business after another, and mostly succeed. Do you think that’s luck? Hell, no! It’s knowing when to take a calculated risk, understanding the odds, hedging bets when necessary, being patient, exploring opportunities to increase your bankroll and knowing when to take a competitor head-on. It really is a mindset. Something to think about from the movie as well, “You can’t lose what you don’t put in the middle.. but you can’t win much either.”
