Stack the Wins – The Secret to Business Growth from a Former Pro Skier

When I competed as a skier, I thought winning was about going big—huge cliffs, risky moves, the stuff that made crowds go wild. But guess what? That’s not what won competitions.

The winners weren’t the ones taking the biggest risks. They were the ones stacking small, consistent wins:

• A clean turn here.

• A controlled jump there.

• Smooth landings, one after another.

That’s the same in business.

• You don’t need to land the million-dollar contract to be successful.

• You need to consistently deliver, project after project.

In construction, that means:

• Prioritizing quality control on every job, big or small.

• Building reliable systems that don’t rely on luck.

• Focusing on repeatable success instead of gambling on long shots.

I learned this lesson the hard way—crashing on risky lines I wasn’t ready for. In entrepreneurship, it’s easy to get distracted by the “next big thing.” But real growth? It’s about stacking wins.

Small wins compound into big success.
