The mighty ocean allows no second chance. Centuries of experience and technology stored in the minds of these island-based mariners must suffice. However, the Polynesians were not at a great disadvantage, as years of practical experience and mental data gave them an empirical edge over these voyages. An entrepreneur applies the very same principles used by ancient voyagers. Costs are calculated, time frames for profit are established, equipment and labor are predetermined.
Job descriptions are prepared months in advance.
Past histories of other companies and competitors are studied. Ultimate solutions are anticipated and planned for. Minimizing of unforeseen detrimental events is established. Maximum effort and energy are required and expected if success is to be the end result. Elimination of all surprises gives the successful entrepreneur the empirical edge over his competitors.
