Imagine the horses all lined up at the gate in the last Kentucky Derby. Successful businessmen/women are just like thoroughbred horses. They must practice, run like the wind and sometimes be driven to make it first through the line. Like a horse race the majorities are losers and only a few are Triple Crown winners.

We know that the majority of horses are not of the quality and disposition to ever be entered at the Kentucky Derby. Some might actually run in their local races but are not skilled enough to go beyond their home town. The vast majority of horses will be used for nothing but manual labor and the occasional ride through the farm.

Business men/women are much like horses. The majority of people will only work for a living, a few might become small town business owners and a select few will play in the chance to win millions of dollars. What makes these thoroughbreds different then the rest of society is their ability to continually improve on their skills.

Good business people have Street Sense. They know what type of skills they must work on, they know where their weaknesses are, and they keep practicing until they are the best. In other words, they have the ability to keep working and improving their skills until they succeed despite their odds.

Imagine yourself as Street Sense in the 2007 Kentucky Derby. Calvin Borel rallied the older horse Street Sense to win the Kentucky Derby with 2 & ? length in the 133rd running of the $2,000,000 pot. He rose from the 19th position and challenged himself to the lead.

The owners of Street Sense did not one day throw the horse onto the track and yell “run! run! run!” Like many of us Street Sense would have failed and most of us would have understood why. Despite knowing that an untrained horse wouldn’t do very well we want to beat ourselves up daily because we are not successful.

Street Sense had to practice, become knowledgeable about its surroundings, and had to overcome its weaknesses. People in the world of business must do the same thing. For example, if you aren’t very good at sales you may need to study, practice and learn as much as you can about sales. The key to success is to be reflective about your abilities and be open to the possibility for change.
