Know How The System Works

If you want to be a best selling writer,
you have to know
how Amazon works,
Amazon being one of the biggest booksellers.

If you want to sell the most soft drinks,
you have to know
how Walmart works,
Walmart being one of the biggest resellers.

If you want to be hired at Google,
you have to know
how Google hires their employees.

You need to know the system.
You can buck the system if you want.
You can work outside it
or try to change it.
But you still have to know
how it works
and why it works the way it does.

It sounds like a no-brainer
but, every freakin’ day,
I see people make a run for success
without knowing anything about
the system they’re working within.
