LEADERSHIP

WHAT THIS MEANS

Much of what gets called business sense is really just location. Being useful is necessary and not sufficient, because the same good thing thrives where people already are and dies two streets away, which has nothing to do with the quality of the food. Demand is far easier to find than to create. Experienced people spend their effort on where rather than on persuading.
