What you’re trying to do has probably been done before. And even if you’re genuinely breaking new ground, you’re probably combining existing skills or technologies in a new way.

This is great news, because it means that in the vast majority of situations there is a simple formula for success:

1. Find an expert
2. Ask them what to do
3. Do it

For whatever reason though, most people struggle with this. They either find an idiot and ask them what to do, find an expert and tell them what to do, or find an expert, ask them what to do, then do something else.

I don’t really get it. For me there’s something blissful about taking good advice and getting the results I want with the least effort possible. Life is just sooooo much easier when you’re coachable.

Follow my ingenious three step plan and you can’t go far wrong.
