I was thinking about two of my classmates back in the day in High School who were on the basketball team and top players. It's a story that always inspires me because they were on the same team for a time and then ended up as rivals playing when one was caught cheating on academics. He joined another team. One of them was a writer and I read the story.
He was speaking of how they did everything together. When they played a champion game, he had to make a choice one time to move up and beyond his best friend that was the number 1 player for years. I also trained with both of them. It always was fun getting a shot in when I could. Anyway, he decided he had to put his friendship aside and make that last shot and win. He did. Then he commented even after the game they were still best friends and laughed about it.
I love the story, because after reading this, I've done this plenty of times. It's kind of encouraging story, since it is about facing those Giant moments when you have to get past your fears of what will happen if you succeed and bypass competition.
It relates to Entrepreneurship, because we compete all the time with others. It's just part of the journey. I know many times people worry too much what what everyone will think of them at face value if they go above and beyond.
I thought it would be a fun thread to hear such stories and how they turned out.
