I’ve all the time liked this quote from Seth Godin:
“The factor is, prefer it or not, the longer term occurs. Positive, tomorrow is dangerous, horrifying, and not directly represents one step nearer to the tip. Nevertheless it additionally brings with it the potential of higher and the prospect to do one thing that issues.”
There’s an intentional, and extremely liberating second, the place we let go of what was, and begin constructing what will likely be. Our lives, our careers, our companies, and our manufacturers all profit from this turning level. Not forgetting the place you’ve come from, but in addition not lingering on what maybe as soon as was way back.
At this stage of our dialog with shoppers, there’s a ‘launch’ and a shift in method the place we permit and encourage everybody within the room to dream massive and lay all of the chips on the desk.
As we construct our concepts – our manufacturers – our desires, recognizing the place we’ve come from and the place we’re is, after all, an vital step. However much more vital is permitting ourselves to plan and dream for doing one thing even higher tomorrow.
