You are making high-stakes decisions in a vacuum. You don’t have a board of advisors because you think you can’t afford one. This isolation causes decision fatigue, second-guessing, and costly strategic errors. You are ignoring the fact that you can build a virtual “Board of Advisors” (simulating the minds of Steve Jobs, Ogilvy, or Hormozi) right now for zero dollars. Staying lonely at the top is a choice, and right now, it’s an expensive one.
