  3. In the interview the manager leaned in, he wanted me. Now the same thing he wanted is using that same skill against him.

    Two days off. Three jobs applied for on a half-broken laptop plugged into a tv in an Airbnb. Vic licence appointment. Power walked from Carlton to Flinders Street listening to prog house.

    I'm building leverage. Other jobs. Stocks. Crypto. I'm untouchable.

  8. "Every 'no' is a vote for a future 'yes.'"- 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.
    --

    In the global freelance economy, the pressure is relentless: take everything that comes through the door. Chase every lead. Never leave money on the table. Never turn down an opportunity.

    Hustle.

    I get it.

    I've lived that reality since 1990.

    Here's the thing - the tone for the hustle is set right out of the gate. When you're in year one of running your own thing, every email feels like the difference between making it or not. You say yes to almost anything because the alternative of an empty calendar is terrifying. I've lived that reality for a long time. My early years on my own were a frantic hustle of saying yes to anything that looked like it might pay the bills.

    But here is what I've learned in the 36 years since: the pivots that worked weren't built on the things I said yes to; sometimes, they were built on the things I said no to.

    Every no is a vote for a future yes.

    From 1998 to 2001, I was doing, perhaps, 80 to 100 events per year. 4 keynotes in 4 days in 4 different cities all across North America. Travel, a full schedule, prep time. It was exhilarating, but at the same time, I was raising a young family with my wife, writing even more books about the Internet, participating in book tours, and so much more. And when the dot.com collapse happened in 2001, I was not quite prepared to reinvent - to pivot - at the speed the future demanded. It wasn't until 2004 that I finished writing my book, What I Learned from Frogs in Texas: How to Save Your Skin with Forward Thinking Innovation, that I was able to escape the tech lable nd move into the innovation/futurist branding.

    I look back sometimes and realize I lost three years that might have made my pivot to a new future easier. I didn't - because I didn't make time for the necessary pivot, because I was too busy saying yes.

    I learned a very powerful lesson.

    It's hard to think about, but ultimately, saying YES to everything will eventually get in the way of your success.

    Futurist Jim Carroll has come to learn that the potential negativity in saying NO is one of the most powerful ways to get to the positivity of saying YES.
