“Plans fail for lack of counsel, but with many advisers they succeed.”
Proverbs 15:22
Who is on the “board of directors” for your life? The people that you trust to give you wisdom and perspective when you need guidance? Who are the people that will give you perspective and counsel when you don’t even know that you need it?
These are invaluable advisors because they will help you see the gaps in your plans and thinking and help you find ways to overcome them. The key is to make sure that you are fostering these relationships and ASKING for the input. If you have great plans, but don’t seek counsel, and then LISTEN to it, you are missing the entire point.
Do you have a list of people in your head as trusted advisors and councilors? If you don’t, make the list and foster those relationships.
