It took me too long to understand a key underlying point across several of Sahil Bloom’s learnings from being in an entrepreneurs retreat (https://lnkd.in/eCrWAFEQ).
Trying to be “solo” as an entrepreneur – or leader for that matter – is wrong for most everyone. Getting perspective and feedback from outside your current thinking is critical.
I think there is also a broader view of his first key learning: “Freedom is the real goal. Once you’ve achieved a certain level of financial success, everything becomes about a quest for freedom.”
The quest for freedom is available for everyone, regardless of financial level. Everyone has some degrees of freedom, even if less so due to tight finances.
It’s rare to achieve greater success, whether financial or otherwise, if you don’t understand and seek freedom – ability to make your own decisions – where you can now. Why? Because that is where you can make the changes that enable more freedom – and success – in the future.
Waiting for the ability to seek “freedom” later is almost certain to guarantee you won’t get it.
This is especially true for leaders.
