It’s so simple that it’s revolutionary. The fact is, this formula or principle is misunderstood enough, or overlooked enough, that it can truly be called magic by those who understand it. Ready? Here it is.

You beat another 40 percent by being a person of honesty and integrity and standing for something.
The last 10 percent is a dogfight in the free enterprise system.
