Pre-Decide to Chase Opportunity 8:14

7d ago8:14

8:14

John Wooden famously said, "When opportunity comes, it's too late." If we're going to be the kind of people who think like entrepreneurs, we have to be ready to seek and chase opportunity when it shows up--that is not the time to plan and prepare. This requires having a readiness mindset, developing our skills, creating systems and habits, and prep…

8d ago10:31

10:31

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). First, this means we need to lean into redundancy and second this means we need to actively get rid of the things making us fr…

Beyond Resilience: Building a Mindset of Antifragility 9:16

21d 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. What if, however, there was a way for us to go beyond resilience and build a mindset of antifragility so that the volatility a…

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

1M 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.…

2M ago10:43

The famous "don't break the chain" system is famous because it works--once we identify our high return habit (the habit that creates enormous momentum toward our vision) then we can use this system to create accountability around our daily completion of this habit.Af Stephen Carter

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…

Kaizen - Improving Every Day 8:07

3M ago8:07

8:07

When we focus on continuous improvement, day after day after day, what we are really doing is fine tuning our system.

Are You Chasing Opportunity? 8:43

4M ago8:43

8:43

Develop the Skill of Curiosity 7:54

4M ago7:54

7:54

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. When we tackle three blockers in particular (our phones, our routines, our comfort zones), we are poised to ask the key questions of curiosity in order to fully seek o…

Want to be Grittier? Have a Purpose 9:29

9:29

If we are to develop our entrepreneurial mindset and experience the transformation that comes from the renewing of our mind, then developing our grit is essential.

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. Too often planning becomes its own form of procrastination that keeps us from going after the things we need to do in order to create lasting change in our lives.…

Applying the Principles of Entrepreneurship 9:37

9:37

“Principles are concisely worded statements of truth that transcend circumstance” (quote from Alex Judd of Path for Growth) and as a result, it imperative that, as educators, we work to point out principles for our students and teach them to leverage these principles in their lives. In other words, principles are always at work regardless of our ac…

Building Your Own House - Making Yourself as Valuable as Possible 9:11

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.

Let's focus some intentional investing in our personal growth to become as…

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!…

Get Serious About Change by Getting Serious About Habits 10:41

7M ago10:41

10:41

We can talk all day long, day after day, about the power of the entrepreneurial mindset, but until we commit to making serious and lasting change, it is all just talk. Time to take ACTION- time to get starting with real change to create the ideal life in order to become the person that we want. We can make the choice today to become better, but it …

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. If we allow ourselves to become paralyzed by the fear of not succeeding, we will not only miss out on opportunity but we will leave ourselves at risk of living a life of regret on what "might have been.…

Your Goal is Not Just for You 9:31

8M ago9:31

9:31

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. This is especially true if the goal is for a team or even a family. When we can come together and rally around the completion of this goal, it creates a powerful bond that best represents the power of the entrepreneur…

I had the unique privilege of sitting down with three time cancer survivor Johnathan Sams who, just after finishing chemotherapy treatment, walked an entire marathon (all 26.2 miles) through the halls of the hospital.

From "If Only" to Superpower 9:13

8M 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…

Are You Biased for Action? 9:16

9M ago9:16

9:16

Entrepreneurs are biased for action and when in doubt, they act. This attribute is central to seeking opportunity--we have to overcome the paralysis of analysis and get up and seize the opportunities that are all around us.

Ivan Pavlov's famous quote, "If you want new ideas, read old books" is truer today than ever before--we have a treasure trove of advice available to us in the pages of the past.

It's Okay To Fear Failure As Long As You Redefine It First 13:12

12M ago13:12

13:12

It’s trendy in educational circles to talk about “embracing the learning experience of failure” or “teaching students to not fear failure,” but at the end of the day, it’s the same old story: we’re afraid. When we do a cost-benefit analysis, we tend to overload the cost side and assume it is not worth the risk. When we consider our shareholders, ou…
