Often, we seek counsel from those whose opinions we already know too well. As a result, we are blinded by our inner suspicions, depriving ourselves of contrary insight. When we act without complete information we are left scrambling for solutions to foreseeable problems.

Being able to mitigate risks is crucial in today’s environment. Having someone able to provide honest and forthright advice about foreseeable problems can lead to better risk management. Nothing is worse than finding ourselves scrambling about the swamp of despair when we should be surmounting the peak of success.
