Forget about your Plan B

Burn the Boats

Matt Higgins dropped out of high school to get a full-time job at a local NYC deli making minimum wage to try and help his mom support his struggling family. While in hind site it may not have been the best choice, Matt felt it was his only option at the time and learned a valuable lesson about the concept of “burning the boats” — a strategy that would serve him well when he would later graduate law school; become Communications Director for the Mayor of New York; earn multi-millions in business; and star as an angel investor on the hit TV show Shark Tank.

There are many lessons here…

Deliberately NOT making a Plan B for yourself when it comes to decisions big or small might be my biggest take away. Enjoy this latest video or audio podcast with me and successful entrepreneur Matt Higgins!
