I watch Entourage on HBO and there is one character that I love and identify with. Ari Gold is the efficacious entrepreneur. Driven, aggressive, persistent with that killer instinct and an ability to lead and inspire his team. He gets up at 5am, reads the papers whilst he does his cardio, is out the door before his family get up – much to their chagrin – and is then like dynamo all day and into the night to get Vince whatever he needs and to take his business to the next level. His company is one of the top agencies in Los Angeles and his partner is one of the most powerful women in town.

None if this was by accident. Ari has crystal clear goals and goes after them relentlessly day after day after day. If you want to take a look at a really good example of what it takes to be a successful entrepreneur then go and watch every episode of Entourage paying particular attention to the agent.

It is all fictional and fun but I can bet that the character was based on a real person. As I say the juice is worth the squeeze and is why the blog has the name it does. When it’s your business and you are going after it, you had better be going after it like a Dog On A Pork Chop.

You want to know how to be a winner, try being like gold.
