Now let’s go back in time some thousand or so years ago, back in the days of King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table.  King Arthur was the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of his company of knights of the Round Table.

How did King Arthur invested his money?  He invested his money on his people so that they may exemplify the kind of knight that he was.  King Arthur and his company was so successful that they became renowned to all the medieval world and the worlds thereafter.

King Arthur and his Round Table company is the model of business for Knight in Business.  He was so legendary, he became a myth.
