It’s nice to think that things happen all by themselves: the
truth is it takes hard work to make anything happen. After Steve Wynn sold
Mirage Resorts to MGM, he bought the Desert Inn and began to plan a new company
that ultimately became Wynn Resorts. After all the years he and his team had worked
on developing the Mirage Resorts properties you might think that his new
company would start up easily: success in that new endeavor, however, was
harder than expected. Each and every one of us who worked on starting that new
company had to set ourselves on fire: we had to start over and get fully
involved with the planning, hiring, and launch of what was in many ways a start
up. We had to reignite our creative and collective selves: there was nothing
spontaneous about that combustion. When change happens, make sure you’re ready,
willing and able to get your fires going again.
