#250: One of my favorite questions for finding clarity
Manage episode 475837926 series 2673742
I had a coach once upon a time, and he told me that our greatest strengths are often our greatest weaknesses. I think that applies to creators because we are so creative that we easily get inspired by new ideas. We've proven to ourselves time and time again that we can create something out of thin air. So when we have a new idea that we get excited about, it can be tempting to dive all in on that idea, which creates this challenge: if I have a bunch of ideas, how do I choose where I should allocate my time and resources?
The core problem here is that if you don't know your destination, it is impossible to get directions. This great saying says you can get to where you're going just by following the length of your headlights. You don't have to see the entire road to get to a place.
So, just this past week, I was speaking with a member of the lab. The question was, I have options A or B, so which one should I do? And I asked this person, imagine it's three years in the future. Everything went as well as it possibly could have. What does that look like?
