Are you an A player or a B player?

[FeaRxUnLeAsHeD]

Gary Vaynerchuk talks a lot about how not everybody is destined to be a #1 CEO or founder. As most of us know, the industry is saturated with young guys all wanting to be a CEO or entrepreneur because it's "the thing to be".

I'm exploring this myself at 23 and have been wondering if I'd be a better VP of Sales compared to the CEO and Founder or the business-creator.

From where I stand right now, I've been trying to be an A player but feel that I don't have the skills, capital, or experience to be a successful A player yet. I've been working on a business (personal training / planning on opening a boot camp gym) but I also work full time in sales.. figure if I become really good at sales as a B player, it will help me to succeed as an A player.

Where do you lie?
