I have fun playing Texas Hold ‘Em with friends. Did you know that playing the game or watching shows like World Tour Of Poker can help you succeed in business? I didn’t realize that while I was learning to play, I was gaining valuable business skills that have translated into money in my pocket. No, not by gambling money away. 🙂 Let me show you what I mean. I learned four things from playing poker.
First, I learned how to make the best of the cards I was dealt. I learned when to play a hand, when to take risks, and when to throw the cards away and wait to act with better ones. This kind of discernment helps a business owner make sound decisions about working with assets and when to cut a project loose if it’s not producing good results. I found that when starting your own business, you will invest 2 assetsyour time and your money. Depending on where you start, you’ll use one of these assets more than the other. A realistic understanding of which asset you’re working from can help you make the most of what you’ve got.
The second lesson I learned from poker is that you’ve got to use a strategy to win. Good...
