  1. “Never put yourself in a position in which you regret what you didn’t do. - 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.
    --

    Forty-one years ago today, I stepped onto a plane in Halifax, Nova Scotia, heading toward a national office in Toronto, Ontario, and a future that didn't yet have a name.

    I was a Chartered Accountant by trade, but my heart was already in the "pipes"—the emerging, messy world of computer connectivity. For three years, I had already immersed myself deep into the opportunities that came from the online world, understanding the power of global collaboration, online research, knowledge acceleration, and disruptive ideas. In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.

    41 years on, I know I did the right thing.

    Many times in your life, you will need to confront similar big decisions. Should you make the big, bold leap? Should you take the daring jump into the unknown? Can you really hold your breath, close your eyes, take the plunge into tomorrow, and hope for the best?

    If you don't, you might end up regretting not doing the most important thing you should have done.

    Never put yourself in that situation.

    The greatest risk you will ever take is the risk of staying where you are when you know you were meant for what’s next.

    Don't ask what happens if you fail.

    Ask what happens if you never try at all.

In my heart and in my mind, I just knew that something big was on the way, and I wanted to be a part of it.

    The move came about because I had been identified by the national office as someone who could implement the opportunities of that 'something big on a nationwide basis. They offered me a position to chase my ideas, albeit in a bigger, well-funded way - and I accepted.

    That moment in time was the final, terrifying step in my ultimate pivot. I wasn't just changing roles; I was abandoning "certainty" for a wild risk on what would eventually become the Internet. And yet, I've never looked back with regret at the decision I made to move forward. I often wonder what my world would be like today if I had let that regret define my future.

  15. "Chase the BIG things!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    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.
