Build successful partnerships in business: “Fifty percent of something is better than 100 percent of nothing.”
Out-working everyone: Will Smith once said that he knows that he’s not the most talented actor or entertainer, but he also declared that no one is going to outwork him. “My work ethic from basketball did help me in my business. I took that same work ethic to the boardroom. And then paying attention to detail. I knew not only all of our plays but also my opponents’ plays. I love to win. I’m crazy about winning. And if you are going to be in business, you have to be a competitor. A competitor will do their homework, their research, will be disciplined and will outwork the competition.
