This article explores the similarities between the actions of a successful Roman gladiator and modern entrepreneurs. It highlights the importance of planning, identifying market needs, and gathering evidence before launching a product.
Successful entrepreneurs behave differently than those who have seen only moderate success or are new to the vocation.
