A speaker explains that wisdom comes first from prayer and solitude (hearing from the Lord) and is amplified by counsel from a community of successful people. Collective counsel accelerates progress, provides courage, resources, accountability, networking, and spares individuals from learning solely through personal experience.
Chapters
I gain wisdom through prayer, first of all through solitude and hearing from the Lord, and then through the counsel of the multitudes. When you have other successful people join together and collectively, they say, I think as a group, we would suggest you go this way. The success statistics are far over and above your single mindset of how you should do things. And so it just allows you to move a lot faster. It gives you courage, it gives you other people that can hold your arms up when you're tired. It can give you resources, it can give you networking. There's people that can come along you and hold you accountable for the things that you want to accomplish. There's so many networking opportunities and introductions within our community that just expedites your success because you don't have to learn the experiences on your own.
