There’s a saying that goes “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” As it turns out, this adage provides sage wisdom for advancement in business, too.
It’s a simple fact: you’ll never get ahead in business or as an entrepreneur if you don’t develop the ability to think for yourself. If you’re always following others, you’ll never be able to make intelligent decisions for yourself, which will limit your potential for growth.
