Coattail Effect in Business

In business, there is always someone who wants to ride on someone else"s coattails to success. They may try to emulate their style, use their connections, or even try to take credit for their achievements. However, this is not the way to success, as it is based on someone else"s hard work and achievements, not their own. Instead, it is important to create your own opportunities, work hard, and be original in your approach to business. Only then can you truly achieve success on your own terms.
