Snooker and entrepreneurship

I quick though on a seminar I attended last night on entrepreneurship. Starting a company is like playing a game of snooker. Your first shot is often defensive since you have no way of knowing what is to come next. As the balls started to spread out, it is much easier to plan your next move. To win, your lead has to collide with target first before you earn the right to pot your prized color ball. Your ability to plan, skill of where the lead ball will land after the collision determines your next move. And when the going gets tough, you need to somehow make it difficult for your opponent to proceed by placing obstacles in the right place.
