"I'm coming from my background working in this purpose-led sustainable business space, where you see things like worker cooperatives having a really positive impact, both from the workers POV and from the business POV. Because that more collective decision-making, and an interest in the success of the business, delivers better long term outcomes. Both commercially and for individuals."

A quotation from Carlyle

The tragedy of life is not so much what men suffer, but rather what they miss.

A quotation from Herbert Hoover

You convey too great a compliment when you say that I have earned the right to the presidential nomination. No man can establish such an obligation upon any part of the American people. My country owes me no debt. It gave me, as it gives every boy and girl, a chance. It gave me schooling, independence of action, opportunity for service and honor. In no other land could a boy from a country village, without inheritance or influential friends, look forward with unbounded hope. My whole life has taught me what America means. I am indebted to my country beyond any human power to repay.

Herbert Hoover (1874-1964) American engineer, bureaucrat, US President (1929-33)
Letter (1928-06-14) to George Moses

“Remember that the future won’t wait for you to be ready.” - 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.
--

Never wait.

Don't hold back.

Get going - right now.

Because the world as you know it at this very moment won't exist beyond the next moment. And by the time you get going, the opportunity it might present will be long gone.

And yet, you are probably like most people - you're going to wait. For the 'perfect moment' when 'the time is right.' And with that, you fall behind.
Look, throughout my 36-year voyage, I’ve seen the same pattern repeat in every industry: leaders waiting for the "perfect moment," the "final report," or the "economic recovery" to begin their next move. They treat readiness as a destination they need to reach before they can start. People do the same thing - if we have a major career opportunity, a freelance idea to chase, or a new skill we need to adapt.

We wait until we are ready.

But here is the brutal reality of the Infinite Pivot: The future doesn't care about your hesitation.

In my book, Dancing in the Rain, I explored why you have to build while it’s pouring rain. Why did I write it? Because I know most people view a period of volatility or a period of chaos as a reason to delay. They think they are being "prudent" by waiting. In reality, they are being overtaken.

Here's what I know: you need to establish a dual mindset, in which you:

Rebuild during the lows: The rainy periods, aka volatility, are the only time you have the quiet to master the next tool, learn new skills, or overhaul your infrastructure. If you are waiting for things to "get back to normal" to start your growth phase, you have already lost opportunities due to the speed of change

Pivot during the highs: When things are going well, that is exactly when the next disruption is cutting to the front of the line. It won't wait for you. You need to jump.

The Infinite Pivot is about realizing that the idea of being "ready" is a myth, a trap, a barrier. The future tends to arrive on its own schedule. If you spend your time waiting for clarity, you’ll find yourself standing in a world that has already moved on without you.

You can't control the timing, but you can control your motion.

Don't wait for the future to invite you.

Jim Carroll's book of 2007, Ready, Set, Done: How to Innovate When Faster is the New Fast, emphasized the need to be ready.

"If you are feeling overwhelmed by the speed of change, join the global club!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

To work at the leading edge of AI today is to work with a world that is moving at an astonishing speed. All around you. It's a world of fast-moving developments. To name just a few:

At the end of January, a new ‘agentic AI’ platform, now known as OpenClaw, was released to the world by a software developer. Use and adoption exploded overnight as the global tech community installed, explored, and began working with it (I’ve yet to jump in). Just yesterday, Nvidia announced a corporate enterprise version of the concept known as NemoClaw, which addresses many of the security and other concerns of the original software. We've never seen software that has gone from the release of a concept to a scalable, corporate enterprise version at such a speed.

That’s but one aspect of fast-moving change. The very concept of how we use AI is changing. In the last few weeks, Claude Copilot and Claude Cowork have taken the world by storm. I’ve spent the last few weeks working with the latter, using it to fix x up some aspects of my home automation system, help with editing my latest book, exploring issues related to my spinal injury, and managing a little biographical project I’ve been working on. The change with what this software brings is profound — I no longer ask an AI a question, I instruct the AI what work I want it to do.

Other new platforms are emerging all around us. Today’s image was generated by using a new feature on a presentation AI I use, gamma.app. I simply instructed it with the type of image I wanted and the words I wanted to use, and I quickly had 3 options to choose from. (I chose one, flipped it into Canva, and placed a photo on top.) Hours later, Google announced Stitch By Google, which, by all indications, should do the same type of thing.

To understand AI, you’ve not only got to understand how quickly it is moving, but what exactly IS moving.

And to understand AI, you’ve got to commit to being overwhelmed by the speed and breadth of what is occurring all around you.

Sometime last year, I observed that watching AI is like watching the emergence of the Internet in the 90’s. And right now, it’s like we are in our Netscape moment. When that software appeared, people around the world realized that the nature of the Internet had changed forever, and that the world was, at that moment, a world of unprecedented opportunity.

We’re at the Netscape moment right now.

----

Futurist Jim Carroll lived through the 'Netscape' moment in the 90s and was astonished by the creative energy it unleashed around the world. This new moment is even bigger.

I don't know for sure but I think I just lost a #friend over being too #forgiving in the moment.

Sorry not sorry. I don't stand for what I can't #become as such.

I do what I can to #embrace all #people who #appreciate who I am. It's all I can do, and if that #means my #contribution towards #friendships isn't meant to #last then so #be it. But if it does, they're really #rare and I #cherish them because they're very easy to #lose over #something you thought you could #understand at the time.

I'll #say this.

All #echo #chambers are the #primary #reason as to why a #friendship falls apart. Because I've seen this #effect everyone to the point of no #return possible, and honestly...you can't get along with people who spend more of their #time invested into something other than what you are doing with that person together. And I don't think I'm alone in wishing that at times, such an #investment cultivates #familiarity over #routine on a continuous basis.

But you know what? I still appreciate the chance to #care for all it is #worth as such. I do my best to live #life with no #regrets to count on #growing without me there to #manage them.

It's my own #fault for putting a bit of my #soul into everything I do alongside my #heart and #mind accordingly. And as afar as I #know there's no #changing that, at least in a very easy way.

If you ever truly #need #friends by your side, you'll know whether they're people you can #count on or not, by the way they #treat your #ambitions as an #individual person.

You can still #respect someone if they do not #acknowledge that you have any. But the chances of you becoming #close, are not as great.

With that being said, you do not need to #support the same #ambition someone else does, in order to be friends. You just need to set your #ego aside so that such a person can fulfill their #desire the best way they know how to.

That's what I do, and I carry a lot of #weight because of it. All of the #memories set aside because the soul wasn't ready to let go of the ones #entrapping their #conscious #focus throughout seemingly more #important issues outside of my #control in all of the #moments they last.

Putting my best #self forward, means respecting that and not forcing the #matter at hand. It doesn't make that #feeling go away, born of lost #opportunity at the #core of #potential #reciprocity as such.

But yes #indeed I know #hope is not so easily broken by #fragile #futility alone. Which is why I continue to #forgive but not #forget all of the ways life makes a different #path #unfold into #being by the #presence of #purpose for everyone.

"It's all fairway when you put in the work!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

If you golf, you know instantly when you hit a great tee shot. And as a speaker, you know instantly when one moment has suddenly changed some lives and an industry. As a golfer and speaker, I've had both moments.

Let's start with golf. In my last few rounds - including yesterday - I've been hitting 100% of fairways consistently. This is a good thing, but it's only happening because I've put in the work. My irons are also, as the vernacular goes, 'dialled in,' pretty consistently hitting within 10 or 20 percent of my target. Golfers obsess over stuff like this.

As a futurist and innovation speaker, I also obsess over the quality of my work.

If you golf, you will know that today is the opening round of the PGA of America golf tournament.

One of my career highlights was back in 2010 when I keynoted the annual general meeting of the PGA of America, the organization that hosts this tournament. Most folks don't understand who the real 'PGA' golfer is who would be a member of this association, and who were at my talk. The folks in the room were not the Rorys and Brysons and Xanders- it was the hard-working local club pro at your golf club. The one who teaches lessons and runs the pro shop, who joins you on Mens Day or Ladies Day, manages the golf course, and hires all the other professional golf staff. Some of them might have competed on tour as a PGA Tour player (a different association!), but many simply love the game of golf and have built a career out of successfully running your local golf club.

And back in 2010, unlike today, the industry they were working in was facing a reckoning.

And somehow or other, I was selected to be the opening keynote speaker for their AGM. My job was to come in and provide insight into the trends that might provide them with opportunities for growth in the future. And that was the entire focus of this AGM - the meeting tagline was 'Grow the Game.' Not only that, my marching orders were to help shake them out of their complacency and encourage them to make innovative thinking the core of what they do.

I piped it.

From a post reply I wrote about visualization:

It’s not a magic bullet train; you asked specifically about “holding onto a visualization” - it’s almost the opposite you want to do, in that you want to have it, then let it go…

Here are a few things I have found that work well for me. It’s all about working with the underlying subtle energy of the thoughts and feelings that relate to what you’re wanting to focus on. I am not delving into those specifics here, just sharing some of the tools I’ve found to be helpful in playing with this pool of opportunity in visualization.

You can take or leave what works for you of these processes and you will encounter more that you can add to the list:

#Clear your mind through daily meditation. Earlier in the day before interacting with other people is better. Keeping at it for a month or more is essential. I have not missed a day in almost nine years and it has made a huge difference in my life. It is a daily reattunement. DAILY. There are many ways to meditate; I would stick with one way for at least a month before you try another. Some might say longer. The reason for clearing your mind (other than that it feels awesome) is that it makes you much more receptive to intuitive impulses that relate to the visualization/manifestation trajectory.

#Look for small, incremental changes in the direction you want to go. Make note of when they occur; noticing builds momentum, in my experience. Jot down what builds on what, make connections, and let yourself go with the flow of the little changes, no matter how small or tangential to your goals. Baby steps build out the visualization (even if you can’t see exactly how, in the moment).

#Make more small decisions to build momentum in your day! That’s a big one for me and I always tell that to my team members at work, too. Can be tangential to your goals; building something in a positive direction is good - the idea is to get the energy moving in a wanted direction. Does not have to be about the visualization. Just about feeling faster forward momentum generally.

#Find the feeling of what you’re going for, not just the “thing” you’re going for. Look for evidence of that feeling throughout your day. Feeling first. You’re already on a good path with writing down your goals so keep doing that… just focus on WHY you want what you want, find the feeling place of what you want wherever it occurs in your life, even if tangential to your main, visualized goals.

#Collage it! If you are a visual person, you can “codify” these thoughts, feelings and processes with a collage. Then let it go, put it away, forget about it, and move on with the rest of your small, incremental decisions that build energy generally in your life. LET THE VISUALIZATION GO and then CHILL OUT! (Do I sound like I am yelling? It’s because this part is important!)…

#Flow! Find your flow and enjoy the ride! Allow yourself to find a playful place in it all. It’s not all about the final destination.

Overall:

#Meditate. Ask yourself why you want what you want. Feelings first. Allow yourself to go with the flow. Have fun! And expect serendipity; more and more opportunities will open up.

And if you are interested to read more about these creative visualization processes, I recommend the work of #ShaktiGawain, #EstherHicks, and #NathalieGoldberg. Of course, there are many, many more. These are just a few of my favourites/favorites (Canadian/American here). :-)

Thank you for asking. 🙏
