My business has paid the bills for 15 years in a row, so we must be doing some things right, but we never moved beyond 400 square feet. What's the difference between a businessman who feeds himself and one who takes it to the next level? In fifteen years we've grown to 3 1/2 people and are considering hiring another. I'd love to hear from the big guys what they did differently from the 95% who are "successful" and will never expand beyond the spare bedroom.
Steve Jobs said it best.



Imo, the difference is passion, drive, and intelligence. For example, maybe you are passionate about what you do and are plenty smart. But someone like Minte is even more passionate and even smarter. Similarly, people who are more successful than Minte may be just as passionate, but have made even smarter business decisions.
