LESSON 17
Ask what you forgot
The expensive mistakes are the ones nobody thought to mention.
Paste this:
Here is my plan. Do not tell me it is good. Tell me what I have not thought of, what usually goes wrong with plans like this, what it will cost that I have not budgeted, and the one thing that would make the whole thing fall apart.
Give it the plan in whatever shape it is in — notes, a voice memo, half a page. Asking for holes gets you holes; asking for feedback gets you flattery.
A plan often carries numbers you would not share — what you pay people, what you owe, who your clients are. Take those out and the answer is just as useful.
