Share it with your builders, discussing mistakes you made and how you would avoid them if you could do it over again. Offer your help to navigate around rocky reefs, storms, and devastating whirlpools of self-doubt. Invite your builders to draw their own map of their journey, only stopping where they personally want to be. Results not typical. Average earnings are less.
