As Josh Billings wrote, “It’s not what a man knows that
hurts him; it’s what he knows that isn’t true.”
3.Who are the people, groups, or organizations whose
help and cooperation you need in order to achieve your goal?
Sometimes, a single person can give you ideas and insights
or open doors for you, helping you to achieve vastly more
than you ever thought possible. It’s the same reason many
businesspeople enter into joint ventures and strategic
alliances with their competitors in order to offer products
and services to each other’s customers that each of them
does not currently offer.
4.Of all the people who can help you to achieve your goal,
who is the most important person of all?What could you
offer in exchange to gain this person’s help and cooperation
so that you achieve your important goals even faster?
The most important projects in business, and in the
world around us, are completed by people who make
detailed plans of action before they begin. Make written
plans for yourself and your business, and then follow those
plans carefully until they are successful.
