#182: The Common Denominators Amongst Winners
We all want to be winners in our businesses. We want to define what our own success looks like and work to make it happen. When I talk about winners in business, I'm talking about business owners who aren't willing to settle with just getting by. They don't want to just be mediocre. They see a problem and decide they'll solve that problem. They take accountability for their wins and for their losses. What do they all have in common, and what can we learn from them?
