The end result of successful strategic planning must be the capacity to take a greater risk, for this is the only way to improve entrepreneurial performance.

The plan that provides only for doing additional and new things without provision for sloughing off old and tired ones is unlikely to have results.

…most companies are far too slow to adopt promising platforms, trapped by legacy planning, budgeting, and organizational norms. By the time they are ready to act, evanescent early advantages are long gone.

…as you plan your first hacks to test, start with language, and then go from there.

…it is often overplanning and unnecessary commitment that limit people’s success and happiness.

As you plan and execute on your career goals, people are your secret weapon.

Adaptability and instincts make all the difference. You make progress by planning, but you succeed by deviating.
