Business has an infinite number of outcomes.

You cannot be sure what the future holds until the next step is taken.

In business, the role of chance is not insignificant.

Just as you think victory is assured, you can have an unlucky break.

Just as you’re about to throw in the towel, you can have a lucky break.

Just keep as many options on the table as possible.

Just keep moving forward.

One step at a time.
