  3. "Stop underestimating the future value of your current insight.” - 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.

    Back in 1989, while I was in the midst of my career crisis that would ultimately see me leave the corporate world and start my own freelance "thing," I obsessed over thinking about what possible value my unique skills might be.

    After all, I had gone far from my original professional accounting roots, and was deeply involved in all the merging technology, culturem and opportunities of what was then the emerging Internet. I wasn't on the leading edge - I was somewhere far out ahead of most other people in the world - my skills were so niche, so unique, so narrow that I couldn't think of what possible value they might be to any organization in the world.

    Five years later, I had a **#1** national bestselling book, my business was thriving, and I had people begging me to come into their organizations to explain this strange new world - for money.

    With all that, I learned a very powerful lesson: one of the hardest things to do in a long-term career is to accurately value what you know. It's still the case for me - when you’ve spent 36 years "putting in the work" (**#16**) and "frequenting the fringes" (**#15**), your intuition becomes so sharp that you often mistake it for common sense.

    You assume everyone sees the world the way you do.
    They don't.

    And that might be the most important skill you have - a theme I explore in depth in my upcoming Being Unique book. (It's still in editing!)

    In my voyage, I’ve realized that the "Infinite Pivot" isn't just about moving to the next thing. It’s about recognizing the massive value of the distance you’ve already traveled. What takes me five minutes to "see" today took me three decades to learn. What I knew in 1994 that propelled my success forward took me from 1982 to learn.

    So what's your value worth? The amateur prices by the hour. The expert prices by the decade.

    Own your expertise.

    Stop apologizing for your rate.

    The value of your insight isn't measured by how long it takes you to say it, but by how much it changes the world for the person who hears it.

    Futurist Jim Carroll now realizes that what he knew in 1989 was unbelievably invaluable at the time. It just took him a few years to recognize it.

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

    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!

    Futurist Jim Carroll knows that successful careers are those that have the most volatility along the way!

  7. Part of #Hampshire College’s downfall may also relate to “public discussion in this country about the value of a #LiberalArts #education,” Chrisler said.

    “Some of it is a persistent & ill informed, I think, belief at the #federal level that the only value of an education is what you #earn four years after your graduation,” she said.

    #HigherEducation #academia #knowledge #colleges #universities #QualityOfLife #worth #value #economy #funding

  8. To normalize reflecting and acknowledging previous actions as not the best, or made any kind of #mistake. It doesn’t threaten our worth. #Worth of #self is created by existing. To make some kind of #progress toward a higher #understanding and gentler approach is a worthy #goal. Feeling #regret, r#emorse, is the #opposite to an individualist-narcissist-consciousness. So finish the circle, forgive yourself, and join us. Yr #loved bc you are #here. We do our #best with what we’re aware of in all given moments, and along the #continuum of #endless moments, too. There’s no shortage of #time in #space. Take a deep #breath
    No, not you, asshole.
    Referring to things that are dead or harmed beyond repair or healing, people for whom the world has ended, animals that starve, people that starve and die of cold and heat, extinction, war, war-rape, #trump, things that will never be whole again, or come back to life, or receive reparations for #wrongs, referring to these things, holding these things on your shoulders, in your mind, this might be the main thing you have to do. Know it. A #privilege #burden. To carry that! what about dying though. terrified :( I’ve always been scared of being a #Pow, of any country including mine.

  9. 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.

  18. A quotation from Eric Hoffer

    The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.

    Eric Hoffer (1902-1983) American writer, philosopher, longshoreman
    Passionate State of Mind, Aphorism 113 (1955)

  19. A quotation from Montaigne

    A man’s worth and reputation lie in the mind and in the will: his true honour is found there. Bravery does not consist in firm arms and legs but in firm minds and souls: it is not a matter of what our horse or our weapons are worth but of what we are.
     
    [L’estimation & le prix d’un homme consiste au cœur & en la volonté: c’est là ou gist son vray honneur: la vaillance c’est la fermeté, non pas des jambes & des bras, mais du courage & de l’ame: elle ne consiste pas en la valeur de nostre cheval, ny de nos armes, mais en la nostre.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 1, ch. 30 (1.30), “Of Cannibals [Des Cannibales]” (1578) [tr. Screech (1987), 1.31]
