Movie: Risky Business // Said by Guido (Joe Pantoliano) to Joel (Tom Cruise)

WHAT IT MEANS
It’s always good to be aware of the environment in which you and your competition are working – you should know if there are desperate times so that you can prepare for desperate measures. And even if there aren’t desperate times, peoples’ livelihoods normally rely on business – “it’s business not personal,” until somebody’s livelihood is at stake…

IT MAY COME IN HANDY WHEN…

  • There’s a threat and you want to warn people that you’ll go to great lengths to protect/win something
  • You want to explain your competition’s aggressive behaviors
  • You want to caution people to beware of how far the competition will go if they feel threatened
