It all starts with cultivation
You have to have a way to let the ideas that are cultivated mature into a place of resolution
You have to know yourself to know where to lean-in, versus pull-back
How to orchestrate a plan to put it all together Time to execute- “Direction, not intention, determines destination” -Andy Stanley
