"Success leaves clues. People who succeed at the highest level are doing something differently than everyone else does." – Tony Robbins
My book Financial Crime Fighter Book of Mentors - Practical Career Advice from Leaders in our Profession (www.thefinancialcrimes.com/book) is based entirely on this principle.
But since all advice is autobiographical, according to best-selling author Austin Kleon, "Your Mileage May Vary".
Still, you must seek out such knowledge and if you come across advice that resonates, try it. If it works, keep doing it. If it doesn't, chuck it aside.
Please enjoy.
