There was so much I’m taking away from today. I think a really big piece of that is you don’t have to do it yourself. In fact, the people who are really succeeding and pushing ahead are not doing it themselves. They are relying on the expertise and knowledge of people around them, relying on other peoples’ points of view to keep them open to possibilities.
