Day 17 Quote 6: If You Can Run One Business Well, You Can Run Any Business Well.

Quote 6: If You Can Run One Business Well, You Can Run Any Business Well.
- Richard Branson



Everything is created unique. Even biologically identical twins have differences. The main idea here, I think, is that once you’ve already proven yourself to be successful in a given project, don’t stop there. Push yourself to take on other projects. Don’t just settle for one success, no matter how huge it is. Always keep on growing and find successes in other places.


Musicians, like Madonna, for example. She got a huge hit that skyrocketed her to the top. But, she didn't stop there. She continuously reinvents herself (through new and exciting songs) to stay on top. No wonder she has been a household name for several years now. Or in the cases of best-selling authors like Paulo Coelho who wrote the widely famous book “The Alchemist.” It was such a huge success that he wrote more books such as the “The Fifth Mountain” and the “Eleven Minutes.” Although the succeeding books weren’t as successful as the “The Alchemist,” they still had a relevant impact among avid readers. It just goes to show that he didn’t stop with just one success.


That’s what we should all do. Don’t be a plateau. Be a growing and well-connected graph.
