There was this one kid, who started from very humble beginnings.
This kid eventually became a man, and with the help of a notorious entrepreneur ascended to manage the local subsiduary of what became a very succesful (at least for a while) company. All the kid had to do was obey his first local boss,and later international boss, and ride the incoming wave.
The wave was big, the company was sound and the kid did nothing; he just rode the wave.
The kid made lotsa lotsa money…after all he was the king of the hill in his company. All the press (with a little help) praised the kid. He was the primodial example of succesful management (sometimes we confuse management with entrepreneurship and sometimes we take ourselves for entrepreneurs when we’re really managers riding a wave).
Of course times changed, things happened, the wave subsided, the kid did some bad ass shoulder rubbing with various national encounters of the third kind, and the kid eventually left his kingdom, but he was nevertheless a very rich dude (ahhh, what those tidal waves do..).
The kid actually believed he had the entreprenerial spirit;I mean he did lead and make lotsa lotsa money for many many years.
So the kid figured that he’ll take a mega loan and invest in a business that
he believed was the future (and for the particular country the kid lived in it was the past present and future); after all he was a business man.
The kid did not have any experience in this particular business which was totally disjoint from his previous technology occupations, but the kid figured that he was a business man, wasn’t he? And businessmen (women) can engage profitably any opportunity?
Well, the kid now is 9 digits in the hole and this is just the beginning of his trials and tribulations.
