ACTION
↳ 3-Step Plan To Purposeful Disruption
❶ Commit to Disrupt
If you want something to change, you MUST disrupt the current situation. Same goes for creating new opportunities. If it’s time to disrupt, master the process- not the task.
❷ Get Comfortable With The Unknown
Disruption at its core is messy. That means it’s working, you are creating new opportunities and a different set of eyes on a problem or current situation.
❸ Stay Perpetually Positive
Disruption is NOT what happens to you, but how you RESPOND. This is the SECRET sauce. As Samit says: “Today can be better than yesterday, and I have the power to make it so.” Say that everyday and never forget who actually has the power!
BONUS:
Three lies we tell ourselves & Jay’s advice for how to check them at the door
- I’m not smart enough–insights and drive is all you need. The rest can be hired.
- I will fail– Ok, if you say so–it’s up to you.
- I don’t have the connections or resources–Great creative, hustle and open yourself to the flow. Crowdfunding has already proven that connectivity is a click away.
