I know that will annoy a lot of people, but I really do believe it to be true. Almost all the business balls-ups I have seen – and I’ve seen plenty – have been due to people getting very simple things wrong.

Of course, success in business involves hard work. Lots of it, twenty-hours-a-day-for-five-years hard work. But if you love business, you’re up for that. With the right people and the right motivation, you’ll enjoy it most of the time (not all the time – business is not that easy).

I doesn’t seem easy to me today.
