Son's Square Law (translated)
Hidenori Itagaki · 3 highlights
“Therefore, I never engage in businesses where I cannot become number one from the start. I don’t fight losing battles; I create a setup for certain victory. The battle in the business field is the final touch, and before it actually begins, 90% of the battle should already be over. In the formation stage, you should have completed a setup where you can say, ‘Oh, we can win with this.’””
““The Art of War by Sun Tzu” teaches, “if you calculate much, you win; if you calculate little, you lose.” When venturing into a battle, one must always evaluate the “chances of victory.””
