Personal Board of Directors

Do you have a “Personal Board of Directors”?

I have seen the idea in the Wall Street Journal and am considering the power of same. It’s also another interpretation of the phrase:

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with, [including yourself].”

~ Jim Rohn (motivational speaker)

I chose to borrow the slight addition [including yourself] to the Jim Rohn quote (hat tip to https://personalexcellence.co/blog/average-of-5-people/) because I agree. WE are alas, one of those peeps we cannot evade, avoid, or distance from as much as we’d like to sometimes.

I’m pondering a board of directors. Whom would I ask? Like dating. What if they say no?

If I choose to stay in ponder land, I will be safe but stuck. Hoping to unstick soon.

If you have a personal board of directors, I’d love to know how you approached them. What gave you the courage to ask them, and how did you choose them? Were they the right choice? What were your requirements?
