Are you the smartest person in the room? If you are, you're in the wrong room. Instead, you have to get in the right room. You shouldn't be the smartest person in that room. In fact, you shouldn't even be close to the smartest or most accomplished person in the room. Instead, you have to reach two levels up and get in the room with people who are exponentially further ahead in business than you are. If you can get in that room, that's when explosive progress occurs.
