Malcolm Gladwell challenges the notions of how we view success.
It doesn't exist in a vacuum and is typically the byproduct of little coincidences that combine into the outliers we know and love.
Guiding questions:
1. What is in my environment currently that I can leverage for my success?
2. Am I putting in the time/effort to reach my goals?
3. What poor habits have I picked up that are limiting me?
4. What innovation is on the horizon in our society that I can begin to utilize now?
