When we think of all the innovation that has happened just this past decade, and all of the innovation that is happening right now - the pattern of innovation success is clear.
If the people in your social networks aren't ready for the tsunami of change that innovation is bringing, you need to find new networks. For the future is Now!
The innovation success that is happening right now is changing the world in amazing ways. And it won't slow down for those who aren't ready, nor should it.
Think about this. There were only 360 years between Galileo's discovery of the sun's turning on its axis and the first moon landing. Then less than 100 years between a time when the world's roads were made of dirt and the invention of the Internet.
We are on a steep trajectory of solving world problems that we can't afford to miss. http://bit.ly/2x3Lbk
Here's the pattern of success I watch for. People will say:
1) "That's a crazy idea."
Lots of ideas are crazy, that's exactly where real game changers come from. Look inside that pool of crazy ideas and zoom in on the 'curiously crazy' ones. The ones where you say to yourself "that's so crazy I can't even understand it". The real game changers are right there!
2) "There's no way that will ever work"
My dear friend Dr John Atalla lived his entire life in the future of today. He invented "PIN" (what makes your ATM work) back when everyone said "there's no way that will ever work." and now ATMs are everywhere. http://is.gd/3pS5a
3) "Hey. That was my idea"
Was the iPhone your idea? Did your social networks tell you "That's a crazy idea."? http://bit.ly/3AU3zM Find new networks! (and invite me to join you http://bit.ly/7AQqtY)
The future is Now!....just not for everybody
Make 2010 the year you change the world in amazing ways!
