After doing a VRIN for every one of the 10 resources that I find valuable, I would say that my top resource would be my human capital. It is the most unique and least likely to be copied or imitated by anyone or any business. My experiences make me the top resource for any future business venture I may take on. I definitely trust myself to do what I need to do to get the job done.
