The smartest execs bet big—I dare you to a wager
If you actually win the bet—even if it’s only 150 instead of 300—that’s your achievement, maybe even your reputation in the industry.
If you lose, plenty of people will cover for you; no need for you to worry about it. When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up.
When things go south, whoever has the biggest stake—the largest shareholder—has to clean up the mess. Does it concern you? Forget about employees. You’re barefoot; what do you have to fear? If you lose big and the whole industry gets dragged down, that’s when your opportunity arrives.
You simply flip sides and go online, saying, “I called it at 50 from the start—all the bosses wouldn’t listen, layering on fraud after fraud, insisting it was 200.” Then you pivot to becoming an influencer, selling your shampoo.
As long as you’re not a major shareholder, this game guarantees you can’t lose. If you win, you make money; if you lose, you gain experience; if you lose big, you sell out everyone above you and cash in on fame.
Character matters more than ability.
