early
everybody bet against the Mirage while it was being planned and built: they
cited the total cost, the daily operating expense, and a relatively unproven
management team. We didn’t know if we could actually succeed against those odds
until we got into it: our confidence began to grow as things started going
right. We handled 55,000 applications,
7500 new employees, and 35,000 day one visitors; then Steve scheduled a
championship boxing match two weeks after opening and we handled 17,000 fight
fans: the customers just kept coming as we learned to operate that big new
facility and dozens of other challenges on our way to a first year that nobody
thought possible. Lots of people go to work each day and are challenged by
stretch goals: the best way to accomplish those is to do the simple stuff well,
the hard stuff without fear, and the new stuff with confidence. Challenge
yourself against the odds and see what you’re actually capable of today.
