Here are a few uncommon, common sense commandments that have helped me overcome obstacles in life and create multiple multi-million dollar businesses. Perhaps they might help you do the same.
1. You have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.
This is my story of the nothing to lose mindset; if you have nothing to lose, you thereby have everything to gain.
Here’s an example: Mark Zuckerberg didn’t fear Google, he didn’t fear Yahoo, and he didn’t care about money, and as a result he went head to head with the giants of his industry even when they waved millions of dollars at him, begging him to cease his internet assault. That attitude was his advantage when the competitors were sitting in their ivory towers laughing at a kid trying to compete with their billions of dollars of fire power. And the irony is that now they’re facing extinction, not Facebook.
2. Even when you have everything to lose, act like you don’t.
I used to have nothing to lose, but now that I have a lot to lose, I have a whole new perspective on this. Even after you’ve made it to the top, you still have to act like you have nothing to lose. And beware a man who has a great deal to lose, but acts like he doesn’t.
Regardless of the amount of money a person has or the size of their company, or the amount of wealth they have—those people that take action and risk without the fear of failure are the ones that will ultimately take market share.
3. Don’t let anyone steal your milk.
I learned this one in Juvenile Hall. In jail the new guys always get tested to see how tough they are. Back then I was a skinny white kid, so I had to catch on quick. They are always watching your reactions—what would you do if someone bumped into you in the hallway? Or what would happen if someone came over and asked you for your milk during lunch? Would you jump up and fight, or would you hand it over meekly?
It’s the same in business, people will constantly be testing you to see whether you’re the real deal or not. And everyone knows that if you let someone take your milk on the first day, you aren’t as tough as you seem; soon they’ll be taking your milk every day, and so will everyone else.
