We stand on the shoulders of giants. To me, that means that all those who have gone before us, and whom we paid attention to and learned from, have put us in a much higher place than we started from.
One of the smartest things I’ve ever done in my life and continue to do to this day, is having really great mentors. I can count about five of them since the time I was a young boy until now, and they have made a huge impact on my life. I’m a pretty good mentee, at least that’s what I’ve been told, and that’s because I listen to what my mentors have to say and try to execute what they tell me to do.
When you have big changes you know are coming up in your life, you typically do a lot of preparation. Perhaps it’s buying a house, having a child, maybe buying a second home, big things that require a lot of preparation. You don’t just jump in to them immediately and then think about the ramifications later.
I remember reading Thomas Friedman’s book, The World is Flat, back in 2005. It struck me how we no longer need to look locally but can go anywhere in the world to get things done.
We’ve all learned about folks who are great at innovation — professional athletes, professional musicians, and, of course, entrepreneurs. Steve Jobs and Bill Gates. Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods.
