"Don't be yesterday's vibe" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Today's post is short and to the point, because I've got a 6 AM call with KPMG Dublin to talk about the keynote I'll do for them in just over a week.
And then I've got a 7 am tee time!
Fore!
Here's the thing that I know about the work that I do - as a futurist, I see a lot of people who get left behind.
Don't let that happen.
Here's how.
Don't be stuck.
Don't stagnate.
Don't become stale.
Don't go out of date.
Don't let people view you as someone with old ideas.
Don't develop a brand that screams irrelevance.
Don't chase irrelevance.
Don't dwell on the past.
Don't be complacent.
Don't settle for mediocrity.
Don't lose your spark.
Don't cling to old habits.
Don't resist change.
Don't be yesterday's news.
Don't remain in your comfort zone.
Don't fear progress.
Don't be a has-been.
Don't stay behind.
Don't be a relic of the past.
Don't let time pass you by.
Don't be outdated.
Don't fear tomorrow.
Don't fear futurists.
Don't fear your fear.
Don't hold onto old grudges.
Don't make new grudges.
Don't discount new ideas.
Don't discount the oddballs.
Don't abandon your initiative.
Don't get left in the dust.
Don't live in your glory days.
Don't be a shadow of your former self.
Don't let opportunities slip away.
Don't be irrelevant.
Don't be yesterday's echo.
Don't be a broken record.
Just don't.
Gotta go!
Futurist Jim Carroll doesn't like the idea of people becoming stuck when they always have a choice to be unstuck.
