3 things for business acumen

Sometimes people forget what business is set out to do:

The older I get the more I realize that business is about three very basic things:

1. Hustle
2. Passion
3. Resiliency

You have those things it really doesn’t matter what the idea is… you can change your ideas all day long, in fact evolving is what you’re supposed to do in business. However, you can’t substitute hustle, passion, or resiliency. You can certainly learn, and defiantly enhance, those three core attributes. I know I’ve tried to do that over the years.

This reminds me of IT folks (sometimes myself included) who speak in technical terms no one understands or cares about. How often do we hear terms such as defensible, revenue model, business model, sustainability, intelletual property, etc. These are important, but don't forget that the future of your business is depends on those three basics above.
