Brains vs focus & time

Published: Sunday, 20 January 2013

Andy Warhol had an IQ of 86, Richard Branson has an IQ of 92, Muhammed Ali has an IQ of 78, and David Ogilvy had an IQ of 96.  They are all below the conventional intellectual spectrum, yet they became an artistic legend, a multi-national billionaire entrepreneur, the greatest boxer ever, and the founder of an international ad agency.

Brains only take you so far.  Time and focus take you much farther.
