Famous Guy!

[Kak]

Quick little story for you folks.

My father in law knew a guy years ago... Guy claimed he was famous. Famous for what?

He was an oilman that drilled the deepest dry well in Oklahoma. It never produced. Good money after bad over and over and over.

Despite that epic failure, my father in law was, on occasion, the man's private jet pilot. I think he was doing alright.

Point is, every successful entrepreneur probably has a similar story. Drilling stupid metaphorical holes in the ground, that don't produce, is almost a certain part of the journey.

To win bigger you have to take big swings and sometimes miss.

Or... Of course...

He could have avoided all of that heartache and just became a copywriter instead of an oilman.
