This morning I played chess before I started working and meeting with my entrepreneur clients. Not for no reason. (Who said one can’t justify playing games!)
You see, chess gives you an outline of how to make a business a winning entity. At Wharton I took a chess class taught by an international chess champion from Russia. I learned that chess is a game of strategy, long term goals, and short term steps to get to those goals.
In fact, it is exactly like building a good road map that will lead to a long term vision. Chess has a purpose and clear vision and the successful chess strategist plans out each move. In business, if you know where you want to go, understanding the best steps and learning from each mistake will move you to a checkmate.
Your move now, my friend.
