Concentrate on ‘Why’, not the ‘How’ and ‘What’

I asked a question – “I want to do wonders to this business. What do I need to achieve the desired success?’

A senior fellow sitting nearby murmured in a saintly fashion – “Son, if you want to be strategic in your approach, first meditate on ‘Why’ and not on the ‘How’ and ‘What’.” And he went back to his work, leaving me puzzled about what did that mean.

I felt like ‘Neo meets Oracle’ moment of The Matrix, and now I am trying to decipher what did that mean. Will share I understood or how I finally translated it to suits my needs 🙂 Keep coming back!
