Pre-Decide to Chase Opportunity 8:14

10d ago8:14

8:14

John Wooden famously said, "When opportunity comes, it's too late."

This requires having a readiness mindset, developing our skills, creating systems and habits, and prep…

As we explore this idea of antifragility more and more, it becomes apparent that there are key techniques we can implement into our lives that will help us build systems to encourage antifragility (as opposed to fragility).

Beyond Resilience: Building a Mindset of Antifragility 9:16

24d ago9:16

9:16

We focus a lot, when it comes to the entrepreneurial mindset, on resilience and the development of grit. We like to consider ourselves elastic enough that we can "bounce back" from difficulty and return to our normal state.

Always Be Moving: Avoid the Risk of Inaction 9:37

2M ago9:37

9:37

To have an entrepreneurial mindset is to have a mindset biased toward action--if we are biased toward action, then when the decision comes to do or to not do, we will lean toward doing. In this, we will be able to steer and course correct along the way, but we if never act, we never make movement, which leads to the ongoing regret of inaction.…

Growth and Comfort Cannot Co-Exist 10:04

2M ago10:04

10:04

The irony is we want both comfort and growth and yet comfort and growth cannot co-exist--which is to say we have to make intentional choices regarding how we will pursue growth. Growth does not come naturally--our natural inclination is toward comfort and ultimately the path of least resistance, but when we embrace growth, we find a higher sense of…

Drift is Inevitable: Calibrating is Essential 8:26

2M ago8:26

8:26

We will drift--the only way to avoid drift is to stay out of the water, but with the entrepreneurial mindset, we are biased for action which means we will be getting in the water and chasing down our dreams. It also means we will fall victim to longshore drift and regularly get off track. With a system of calibration, we can ensure we get back on t…

Knowing What You Want is the First Step 9:45

3M ago9:45

9:45

Knowing what you don't want is not the same as knowing what you do want. When it comes to vision, it is essential that we look at what we want to be true in our lives and then craft a plan to bring that truth about. This involves determining what we want and then determining why we want that--once we do that, we can establish the habits and daily a…

Curiosity is a skill and like any skill, it can be developed. But in order for it to be developed, we have to remove the blockers that often keep us from embracing a curious mindset.

Time to Get Up and Take Action! 9:30

5M ago9:30

9:30

The entrepreneurial mindset is rooted in movement, in momentum. It is about being biased for action--take the leap, step into the unknown, go for it.

6M ago9:11

9:11

We focus a lot on investments and getting a return on our investment but often we don't focus on the return we get by investing in ourselves.

Say Yes and Then Figure It Out 10:29

6M ago10:29

10:29

Sometimes you just have to say yes and then figure it out after. When it comes to the entrepreneurial mindset, we have to be willing to take certain acts of faith and embrace a certain degree of risk that says "we may not have it all figured out and we may not have a fully developed plan but we are going to say yes and move forward anyway."…

Moving from Having to Becoming 8:37

6M ago8:37

8:37

A focus on "having" leads to discontent: we focus on the destination and what we "don't have yet" which puts us in a situation to never be satisfied. If, however, we focus on "becoming" then we are looking at the journey and the value we are creating along the way. This is key to the entrepreneurial mindset. Let's Go!…

What if I fall? Oh, but what if you fly? 10:11

8M ago10:11

10:11

We cannot fully live out the entrepreneurial mindset until we are willing to truly redefine failure--true failure is not trying in the first place.

Your Goal is Not Just for You 9:31

8M ago9:31

When we choose a goal, we are looking for something that will stretch us and cause us to move beyond that which we thought possible.

From "If Only" to Superpower 9:13

9M ago9:13

9:13

We all have "if onlys" in our life--if only we had more money, if only we had more time, if only we didn't have so many people relying on us, if only we had more opportunity...often these "if onlys" are excuses that weigh us down and cause us to accept mediocrity. But no more--now we can use them as the superpowers they are to help us find creativi…
