The founder of a massive sports promotion company Matchroom Sport, started off without a clear direction. He says just start, take a scattershot approach and eventually you'll find your direction by the process of elimination. Aim high, then adjust. Hearn wanted to be a heavyweight boxing champion, but his path lead him to be a promoter instead. His own passion could comes across as draconian, but that's only testament to how strongly he believes in the power of the individual to create a meaningful life. Lessons: 1. At first take a scattergun approach in life; don't set limits and then adjust to find your place. 2. Start an hour earlier and end an hour later. 3. Champions are impressive, but the people at the back of the field who refuse to give in may be even more impressive.
