Hmm. Not sure why you didn't get an email notice – maybe check your Disqus settings and/or your spam filter? But maybe it's a nice excuse to come back to the blog to check out the comments

Love your comparison with the animals.

In our case we also have experience of aiming for the elephant and actually getting it. Though the hunt itself was very challenging and in the end not THAT rewarding as we lost a lot of resources on the project (more than initially expected and calculated). So even though hunt was very challenging and satisfying once the elephant was taken down, the meat was not that great. But of course you can use the knowledge that you gained to take down the elephant, to take down deers more easily, as they are more easily to hunt for. Looking back at it, the hunt was more about the hunting challenge itself, than that it was for the meat.

Everyone wants to be Ryan Howard, the problem is you may not have another chance at bat if you strike out.

Hitting singles builds sustainable businesses, swinging for the fences means you are either a Hall of Famer or back working at Walmart… most end up working at Walmart.
