Everything I Know About Business I Learned From Poker includes such highlights as:

# Go for positive expected value, not what’s least risky.
# Don’t play games that you don’t understand, even if you see lots of other people making money from them.
# Hope is not a good plan.
# Educate yourself. Read books and learn from others who have done it before.
# Learn by doing. Theory is nice, but nothing replaces actual experience.
# Learn by surrounding yourself with talented players.
# Just because you win a hand doesn’t mean you’re good and you don’t have more learning to do. You might have just gotten lucky.

To Zappos’s list, I’d add:

# Get Pro Sponsorships - it’s free money.
# Most people have no idea how to play.
# Most people cannot learn to play well.
# If you don’t exercise you will turn into a fat disgusting slob.
# 95% of the Players are Men.
# If you’re good enough, people will want to stake you.
# It’s usually better to raise or fold than to just call.
# Weak-Passive is a Horrible Strategy for Success.
# The proof is in the Bank Account.
# Develop a Fierce Bullshit Detector.
# Have Fun or Play A Different Game.
