The opinions of the entrepreneur are expressed.
Some of the best work classes do not come from the wood – come from practices that push you on the edge. I was accepted for the Sea, the Israeli Unit of Elite Navy, the Israeli counterpart, often adopted for the seals of the US Navy. This section regularly exercises and exercises and operates along with stamp groups, high pressure, high-pressure skills. The transition from military service was no problem, but the same principles that form me as a soldier Career Proptech, Fintech and insurance technologies – and now a company set as an enterprise investor.
As an entrepreneur and investor, I set up and measured enterprises that earn significant recurring income and attracting global recognition. Adaptation has been critical as well as recognized as in the area to make quick decisions and pressure under pressure. These experiments strengthened that resilience, discipline and strategic execution are the basis of success in any arena.
Here are the main lessons I have taken from special operations to entrepreneurship.

1. Embrace the managed chaos
Chaos are key in special operations training. The moment you think you are controlled, something changes. The same belongs to entrepreneurship. Markets are waving, their opponents disappear in a night of Pivot and finance. The best job leaders do not react to chaos only – they expect it and use their advantage.
Lesson: Accept uncertainty as an opportunity, not a danger. You are consistently developed by teaching yourself to go to the unexpected conditions, adapt and grow up to grow. More powerful than your ability to handle the unpredictability, it will be more of your business to happen.
2. The little victory leads to great victories
In training, we did not start by exiting aircraft or performing complicated tasks. We focused on the regulations – to improve each movement, to develop endurance and confidence. In business, mass growth and success in one night, but sustainable success comes from the accumulation of small victories every day.
Lesson: Focus on adopting the basics from financial discipline to hire the right people and clear your product. Small, consistent progress may appear less, but they collect in time. These increasing gains eventually lead to mass progress and long-term success.
3. Determine the success of decision making under pressure
May cost hesitant life in special operations. Here, can cost millions of hesitation. Success entrepreneurs are definitely not intelligent or most experienced – they will be able to make calculated decisions under pressure.
Lesson: When information is incomplete, train to make harsh decisions. Rely on your preparation in uncertain situations and evaluate the best concepts. Trust and solvent action will continue to move forward.

4. The right team is everything
No special operator does not succeed alone – success in high-step environments depends on the team. The same thing is that the right people can do or disrupt your company or disrupt your company. Surround yourself with sharing your mission, performing under pressure and excessive pushers. A strong team is not just an asset; This is the foundation of sustainable success.
Lesson: Not just hire because of the skills – prefer the mindset. Look for persons superior under pressure, search for persons who adapt to having difficulties and change quickly. The right way of thinking can often apply expertise in a long time.
5. Anxiety is the last teacher
One of the first lessons in special operational training is the worries inevitable. Cold water, exhaustion and ruthless stress are all of the process. The same thing is true in the work – the difficulties are inevitable. The most successful entrepreneurs are not afraid of anxiety; They accept it as a catalyst for growth.
Lesson: When you go beyond your comfort zone, growth takes place. To start a new product, launched a new market or to make a hard pivot, progress began to take risks. Accept concern as a signal you move in the right direction.
6. Exit does not feel good
The output is infrequently due to failure – often the impulse decision to adjust, adapt and driving towards the mission you set on the day. There is a difference between making a strategic speech and get out. He writes from a failed initiative or is part of the game to quit a job in time. But you just walk away because it is difficult? This is not an option.
Lesson: Means to give true firmness, miss, give up. When barriers arise, stay loyal to your mission and adapt your approach. There is always another way forward.

7. It pays to win
This statement was well known in American seal groups and was part of our own motto. You will not always win, but ruthless effort and unshakable determination put you apart. If you remain loyal, push the past obstacles and refuse to go out, this determination is measured.
Lesson: The winner is not just about the result – this is a mindset. Most successful people do not trust a chance; They are preparing for mercilessly, adapt the strategy and fight resolutely. At the end, it is priceless followed by the victory.
