Stop. Forget everything you’ve heard about achieving your goals.

Whether you’re trying to start a small business, grow your existing business, or make changes in your life—you should never beeline to your goal. The road to success is never a straight line.

We’ve been taught that we can find success when we fly as straight as an arrow, right? They say simply follow a straight path, as the eagle soars, and then…BOOM, success! We’ve all heard this, but that rarely happens.

Rich says, “I submit that’s exactly how you fail! Sorry, business gurus.” After experiencing both failure and success repeatedly, Rich discovered a key success factor to help you confidently move ahead.
