The only time you see a successful entrepreneur who has a quick start
personality is when they have a strong COO or strong team behind them.

One of the simplest ways I know to avoid sabotage is by being
strategic with who you surround yourself with
You should be spending a third of your time with people who are not as successful as you. There are 3
reasons for that.
1) You share your knowledge and guide others.
2) Sharing forces you to package information that may have otherwise remained unconscious.
3) Unconsciously, it'll make you feel good about where you are.
You should be spending a third of your time with people who are at your level. It’s great to be able to relate to people.
The last is you’re spending a third of your time with people who are more successful than you in a certain area.
This forces you to grow
