“The best executives are made, not born. They absorb information, study their experiences, learn from their mistakes, and evolve.”
One key point Mr. Schwarzman highlights in his book is the importance of taking on adversities throughout your career and learning from them. Without revealing too much about the book.
Key Notes:
“It’s as hard to start and run a small business as it is to start a big one. You will suffer as it is to start a big one. You will suffer the same toll financially and psychologically as you bludgeon it into existence. It’s hard to raise the money and to find the right people.”
it’s worth noting that the amount of time and effort you put into becoming a professional in a particular field will be the same, regardless of whether you are starting a business or working on a project.
“people who are 10s sense problems, design solutions, and take the business in a new direction without being told to do so.”
It may seem obvious, but it’s something that many people overlook: if you notice a problem or opportunity at work or in your business, it’s important to speak up and take action. Don’t let the issue slide by – this is your chance to take the initiative and do something about it.
“The resilience you Exhibit in the face of adversity rather than the adversity itself will be what defines you as a person.”
If there is anything to keep in mind from this book, it would be the quote above. No matter what you do in life, it will depend on how you decide to view it.
