One small hole can sink an entire ship. Most businesses, including today's market leaders, are just one to two major strategic decisions away from complete failure. Failure requires adequate planning. So does success. In my work as the 'mentor of the giants,' as Fortune has called me, and in my interaction with the world's largest companies and famous entrepreneurs, I have seen that what separates the winners from the losers is proper planning, along with strategic decisions. Most people and companies plan too little and spend too much time being busy.

The Panthers put the match to bed early, running in three tries in six minutes in the second-half, however the Round 15 clash ended with Liam Martin leaving the field with blood pouring down his temple and Spencer Leniu and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves sent to the sin-bin with eight minutes to play. Blues star Martin suffered a Category 1 head knock in an attempt to tackle Roosters enforcer Waerea-Hargreaves in the 66th minute of the match. With Origin II exactly 11 days away, the same timeframe as the NRL's stand-down period for concussed players, the New South Wales enforcer remains in doubt for the second match of the series.
