At the same time, you won’t ever get lucky unless you move forward and act. You need to generate alternatives, figure out which have the best probability of success and then actually place your bet to move forward. You can’t create a noteworthy batting average if you fail to do the right thing, regardless of how much you know.

      Predictive intelligence is not something you’re either born with or you’re not. Rather, predictive intelligence is generated by a set of twelve orient-organize-plan-act! skills which can be improved and enhanced, just like any other business skills.
