Seth Godin says now--right now--is the best time to
transform your life. Here's how
Are you serious about transformation? We are not talking
about polishing yourself, improving yourself, making things a bit better,
faster or richer. We are talking about the RESET button—a REINNOVATION
that changes the game. That means an overhaul in what you believe and how you
do your job. If you’re up for that, then right here, right now, you can start.
How?
Do work that matters.
2. BE GENEROUS
The new economy often involves trading in
things that don’t cost money. There’s no incremental cost in writing an essay, a
newsletter, a card or making an
introduction. Since it doesn’t cost money to pay, we have the ability to give
before we get.
The generosity economy rewards people who
create and participate in circles of gifts. Not the direct I-gave-you-this- you-give-me-that,
give-and-get of a traditional economy, but instead the tribal economy of
individuals supporting one another.
3. MAKE ART
Art is an original gift, a connection that
changes the recipient, a human ability to make a difference. Art isn’t a painting
or even a poem; it’s something that any of us can do. If you interact with
others, you have the platform to create something new, something that changes
everything. I call that art.
