There’s not a chess grandmaster alive who just “wings it” when trying to win championships and, likewise, no entrepreneur worth their C-suite ever got to where they are in life without a plan.

When you don’t know where you’re going, any road will take you there. But when you’re sacrificing for a vision — a future reality that you’re working to turn into your present reality — you need a plan, but you also need high-quality mentors to show you how to win.

The best ones will potentially save you a lifetime of pain, frustration, and wasted time; they will bring you back from the abyss when you’re in danger of falling, giving up, or throwing it all away; they will point the way back when you feel lost; and they will show you by the power and force of their example the potential that also exists within you.

For many people, this function has been fulfilled in recent years by Dr. Jordan Peterson, whose book, 12 Rules for Life, I’ve read five times (including listening to him read it on Audible). I took literally a dozen pages of notes.
