What Can We Learn from Jeremy Lin?

Everyone is following "Linsanity" right now.  From, literally, out of no where, Jeremy Lin has captured the attention of active, passive and never-were NBA fans.  What can entrepreneurs and small business owners learn from Jeremy Lin?

Be ready and be prepared.  You have no idea when an opportunity in business is going to reveal itself to you; so, you must be prepared to take the proverbial bull by the horns an capitalize.

The next thing that entrepreneurs and small business owners can learn from Jeremy Lin is humility.  It is very cliched, but entrepreneurism is team effort.  You cannot go at it alone and you will not survive if you attempt to do so.  Surround yourself with smart and hard-working people and you will give yourself a competitive advantage.  When those people that you hire or associate do something noteworthy or if your company does something worth recognition, deflect the praise to those that you surround yourself with and you, yourself, step out of the spotlight.
