If you’ve ever fully committed to a goal or venture without any backup plan, you know what it’s like to persevere in choppy waters. It’s a philosophy embraced at a young age by Matt Higgins, a successful serial entrepreneur and author of the book Burn the Boats: Toss Plan B Overboard and Unleash Your Full Potential. Matt focuses on key principles of entrepreneurship and leadership that can lead to success, including eliminating any possibility of retreat and fully dedicating yourself to achieving your goals. Matt also points to the importance of self-awareness and recognizing that everyone has their own journey to focus on that should never be defined or determined by external validation.
