Honestly, I tell everybody this, the exact same fundamentals that you use to build a football team are the very same things that enable you to have success in business: Act with character and integrity; Out-work the competition; Understand that sometimes you are going to get knocked down and just get back up; It's not whether or not you make mistakes - you will - it's how you handle them; Surround yourself with like-minded, hard-working people. Experience doesn't matter. Character and hard work matters; Treat people well. Give them the help, tools and training that they need. Then get out of their way and let them grow.
