entertainment industry coach question 779:It seems like every successful person took a different path to become successful. What's the right path?

Unfortunately, there is no "right path," no clear ladders to climb, no rule book.

My suggestions for doing this are:

1. Get mentors. Plural. Get advice from as many successful people as you possibly can

2. Compare their advice and decide what fits you best

3. Take action
