Hitting Singles

An interesting post from Mark Cuban today on Success and Motivation. People always post on his blog and ask for advice on business, and he writes on it. This is part of a series about business.

The quote that I liked in there: "I may  not hit many homeruns, but I sure hit a lot of singles and doubles and rarely strike out."

That's what I believe as well. Venture Capitalists do drive some things forward, but I think they ruin many more businesses because they are desperately trying to hit home runs. And long term, I'm not sure that's good for the economy or the world. We need some home runs, but we need many, many more sustainable businesses.
