Summary

Schultze and Jorge unpack why most "5-year plans" fall apart and why that's not a bad thing. From career pivots and planting seeds, to being ready when opportunity hits fast, they break down how to prioritize the right skills at the right time, avoid chasing shiny distractions, and make peace with trade offs so you can actually enjoy the process. https://www.instagram.com/brandon.schultze/ https://www.instagram.com/jorgedehoyos_/ FREE Coach's Field Guide: https://www.pre-script.com/coachs-field-guide Join the PSL1 waitlist now for our ONLY course discount. https://www.pre-script.com/psl1
