small companies<\/a> are run by folks who hire and align themselves with folks who are as passionate about their products and\/or services as they are. They don\u2019t spend time with listening to what can\u2019t be done. They are busy making it happen. Anyone who does not share their vision is not suffered for long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n2 – They view obstacles as temporary. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n Maybe the most powerful moment in the film was when Schwarzenegger said that, as a teenager, he committed to doing anything he had to do to be successful.

Conversely, the companies that have the greatest chance of success<\/a> typically have owners who are prepared to devote the time and the resources to getting the product or service to its rightful place in the market. They have a belief in what they offer, and with that belief comes as level of conviction that seems to focus them less on the time it takes and more on the time need.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThese are just a few of the things that occurred to me during and after I watched the film.
