In his famous book, Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive (New York: William Morrow, 1988), Harvey Mackay recounted a conversation he had with Gerald Symonds who built the multi-billion dollar Tenneco company, where he outlined the four things you need to do to build a successful business:
"One: Find the capital. Two: Find a favorable environment to employ it. Three: Hire the key people. And here's where he took a long pause and said: 'So far, I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know, because number four is the important one. Then you've got to know when to get out of the way. That's the hardest part, but that's the one that will make you rich.'"
