Successful businesses are glued together by their advisors. Unless you have some divine ability to know everything there is to know in your industry, I strongly recommend that you compile a list of experts and key contacts and nurture them.
It is more often than not the advisors, negotiators and analysts that put the “big” in front of a company’s name. The best available advice is a key ingredient to become a big business. On you way to the top you might not have all the answers. Make sure you know people who know the answers, and secure your way to the top.
Surround yourself with smart people. They have the knowledge that will enable and empower you to become successful. Advice isn’t always cheap, but good advice is priceless. It’s who you know that really counts.
The only thing that might keep you from becoming a star is arrogance and pride. When was the last time you made a good decision without advice from a friend, family member or loved one?
So… sit down, shut up and listen.
