How driving a car to work is similar to running a business?

My drive to and from office I realise has a lot in common to people running businesses.

As you drive minding your own car and course, you see all these other drivers swirling from lane to lane, trying to beat the red light, doing illegal U turns, overspeeding, driving where they are not meant to, etc.

You wonder if you should start doing the same to gain some advantage over others and then you realise that everyone starts at a different location and ends at a different location and it’s not a race. Your journey is your journey.

Same applies to businesses. You see businesses doing certain things to get an advantage over other businesses by avoiding tax, providing dodgy service/products, cut corners, do illegal things, etc.

Don’t worry though, your business journey is your business journey. You decide where you want to start and end.
