Follow the Leader


Do you know anyone who has already reached the goal you are working towards? It is truly amazing how much we can learn from following another person's lead.


Even if you don't know them personally, you can still learn about how they succeeded. For example there is an endless supply of self help resources, autobiographies and biographies of very successful people who have outlined their success path for us.


Be aware of the people in your life who have all the answers you are looking for, but no personal evidence of actually knowing what they are talking about. You know the people I am referring to, we all have them in our lives. Although they do mean well, take their advice with great caution. If they haven't done it themselves, what qualifies them to advise you on the matter.


Instead seek to associate and learn from those who have been there and done that with respect to your goals. You will find that this can truly save yourself a lot of time, money and unnecessary mistakes along your success journey, by simply following a leader.
