So many people give this sage advice, “If I can do it, you can do it too.” Be cautious when you hear this because this is not entirely true. I’m not saying you can’t do it. But it’s not as simple as what people say. There are sequences of events that built the momentum and created the perfect storm for people like Elon Musk, Ophrah Winfrey, Warren Buffet, and many other ultra-famous and successful people. Since no two people have the same set of circumstances, you can’t be like Elon Musk even if you wanted to. But there’s one thing that can help you stack the odds in your favor and win in your own way. It’s all about having a solid support system. So who’s in your corner? In today’s episode, you get a snapshot of Sharran’s support system. Get to know the people in Sharran’s corner and how they set him up to win. If you want to build your support system, this episode is for you. “Whoever it may be, whatever the cost is, hiring a person to be your advisor allows you to have a symbol of seriousness and allows you to have someone in your corner.”- Sharran SrivatsaaTimestamps:00:00 Get ready to hear Sharran’s best advice 02:18 This “sage advice” is not true.
