You need a good strategy in addition to an audacious goal. For me as an athlete it was getting more days on the snow and getting access to really good coaches. I had to move from San Diego, had to raise money and over the Summer I had to live on a glacier to train. I think one of the reasons I won was that I had learned to organize myself better than my competitors in taking the initiative to advance myself, hire coaches, figure out how I was going to make it all happen. It was great training for becoming an entrepreneur—you have to wear all of the hats. You have to recruit people, train them, and organize yourself and your team to make something great happen.
