Even with the greatest minds, the right resources and the ultimate plans, that means you’re still dealing in hope.
You craft plans on it, build teams on it, do deals on it, imagine futures on it.
Most powerful of all, you weave stories with it.
Wrapping the knowns with potentials and the realities with maybes. You weave them all together in presentations and fold them into a spreadsheet.

Skippy strategy: Acknowledge when you’re dealing in hope.
