Whether you can actually eat what you raise yourself ultimately depends on your niche. A niche is essentially about who holds the power—like how the person who raises the pig gets to decide what happens to it. That's what a niche is.

The second quality is focus, and the third is patience.
Management means every subordinate is terrible, every task is a mess — and you're sifting through all that crap looking for opportunities to get things done.
A mediocre horse needs the whip to strike it directly before it understands; a gifted horse sees the whip land on another and already knows exactly what's going on.
