What we’re actually waiting for is the political will, the capital, and the consumer pressure to scale what we already know works.

That gap between ‘we have the solution’ and ‘we’re deploying it at scale’ is the only real obstacle.
And that gap is closeable. 🌿

A quotation from Carlyle

   The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
   The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Letter (1822-03-15) to John Carlyle

"It’s harder than they tell you, and more rewarding than you imagine.” - Futurist Jim Carroll

Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

Most people want the future to be a smooth, linear progression; their career to follow the same path. And in that context, they want any business or career pivot to feel like a graceful turn on a dance floor.

That will never be the case.

But in my own voyage through several decades of being self-employed - a member of the global freelander economy -I’ve learned that it can often feel like a grueling, uphill climb in a windstorm. Running a business, reinventing your identity, and staying ahead of the curve is significantly harder than the books and the "gurus" ever tell you.

But here is the secret: The struggle is what makes you succeed.

If the path to the future were easy, everyone would be there already. The "difficulty" is actually a protective barrier that weeds out those who aren't fully committed. Throughout my career, the moments that felt the most difficult - the technical failures, the market shifts that wiped out old revenue streams, the long nights in the "lab" (Lesson **#16**) learning new things, were exactly the moments that were building the most value.

After all, hardship is where your expertise is forged.

When you realize that the struggle and difficulty are a mandatory part of the process, you stop trying to avoid it and start trying to master it. There's no doubt that carving out your own path and then pivoting when you need to is way harder than they tell you. It will exhaust you, challenge your certainty, and occasionally make you wonder why you didn't just take a "safe" job.

But the rewards along the way? Incomparable. Overwhelming. Mind-bogglingly satisfying! The freedom of the "Infinite Pivot"?
It’s worth more than you can imagine!

A quotation from Lincoln

As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client. And when you lack interest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence in the performance.

Abraham Lincoln (1809-1865) American lawyer, politician, US President (1861-65)
Speech (1850), Notes for a Law Lecture (fragment)

"Chase the BIG things!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

--
Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

When big, bold opportunities are unfolding, do you chase the big ideas or keep doing small things?

The art of the infinite pivot involves the former, obviously, not the latter.

Big trends involve big opportunities, but only come around so often. So why would you wait?

Think of it this way: the biggest pivot of your life won’t start with a spreadsheet or a market report.

It starts when you finally choose to listen to the quiet, internal voice inside you telling you to leave the safety of "certainty" for the risk of something bigger.

When I quit the corporate world in 1990, I didn't have a 50-page business plan. What I had was a gut feeling that something massive was happening with global networking. I just knew I had to be a part of it. I had no idea where it was going to take me, what I might do, or how I might shape my tomorrow.

But I just knew... so I traded a predictable salary for the unpredictable thrill of the unknown.

I stopped chasing the "safe" path and started chasing the thing I actually wanted to chase.

It worked out pretty well!

Unknown to me at the time, I was deeply caught up in one of the most important aspects of innovation of all - emotional commitment to a bigger trend. And that is the lesson many leaders miss: true innovation requires an emotional investment in a bold future. You'll only accomplish big things if you innovate within the bigger trend.

My early pivot has continued through my career. In fact, throughout my 36-year voyage, the moments of greatest growth always happened after I abandoned the "proven" model to follow a bigger signal that only I could hear.

Look, certainty is comfortable, but being bold takes you further.

Don't wait for the world to permit you to change.

Listen to your internal voice.

Chase the thing you want to chase.

Because it might be in front of you right now.

It's no wonder that the title of one of Jim's books starts with Think BIG...!

Life will test you, at various, unexpected points. I've learned that if you ride it out, while still adhering to your core values - things end up working out, in the long run.

"A bucket list requires a blueprint. You can’t just hope to succeed. You need to engineer the outcome." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Ok, I'm back to my spinal recovery thing, but I'm damned excited!

You don't often get these tee times in your account!

April.

Old Course, St. Andrews.

And so with that, it was 'rotation day' yesterday!

What is 'rotation day'? It's the first day of exercises designed specifically to get my previously injured spine ready for the mechanics of the golf swing.

I've done the cardio. I've done the work to get the core back in shape. I'm doing the heavy lifting. I've put in the work. Here's 30 days of effort. I don't do this to brag; I share it to say, "I've put in the work."

(The workouts include walking - if I exclude that, I still had 28 solid days at the gym out of the last 30).

Rotation day involves doing a series of exercises that twist your body, torso, and spine.

All the things you couldn't and shouldn't do in the early stages of an L1 to L3 spinal fracture.

As I was doing this routine yesterday, I kept reminding myself that to make a bucket list item work, you've got to put in the work. I can't hope to show up in early April, swing a golf club after this situation, and expect a great round. I've got to put to work the muscles that were not put to work, and some of which were battered and bruised in the fall, to work.

On April 6, I'll tee off at the Old Course.

Pure bucket list.

You can't get to a bucket list if the potential for the bucket has been interrupted by circumstances.

You've got to push through the circumstances.

Fore!

Futurist Jim Carroll hopes for 4 days of extraordinary golf at St. Andrews in early April.
