🔥Creative Destruction
|
Hi Reader, Over the last few years, I’ve experimented with a lot: social media videos, podcasts, this newsletter, different coaching methods, website layouts, lead magnets, digital tools, program designs, in-person events, different taglines on my business cards. Some of it stuck. Some of it flopped. All of it taught me something. There's value in spreading out — exploring widely, experimenting with new ideas, and stretching your belief about what you're capable of creating. Spreading out helps you learn what you do want to pursue and also what you don’t. Collectively, those experiments helped me see 321 Liftoff differently than when I first started the business – and more clearly than I ever could just sitting and thinking at my desk. Learning by doing is the quickest path to clarity – plus, it's just way more fun. So, are you spreading out far enough to really explore what you're capable of? If not, it might be time to test and learn. And, once you've got clarity and a sense of direction, it's time for a little creative destruction – an equally fun step (in my opinion). Creative Destruction is about breaking the old stuff intentionally, clearing the way for something new, and letting go of what no longer fits. If spreading out led you to try a bunch of new ideas, this is about pairing it down. But, it's also about doubling down on what works, maybe even stripping the old stuff for parts. Don’t be afraid to knock down a wall or two if it might lead to growth. Until next time, Michael

I used to worry constantly about being too busy. I never liked to have too many projects at once. I said no – a lot. To meetings, to calls, to opportunities. When my calendar filled up, I felt stressed and overwhelmed. I lived under the assumption that my time was precious and therefore was to be guarded and protected. That last part is still true – to some extent. Your time is precious. You only have this one life. You should be intentional. You should prioritize. But I had overcorrected in...
Happy early Valentine’s Day. Let’s talk about love – specifically, being too in love with your own ideas, perspective, or worldview. I recently finished a massive project. Honestly, it was a real success. The data is stronger, leaders are changing behavior, stakeholders are genuinely happy with the outcome, and… …this was probably my fifth or sixth attempt at doing almost this exact project. Earlier runs at the same problem fizzled out. We struggled to generate buy-in. We missed key...
One of my first jobs out of college was ordering and managing inventory as it moved through a retail supply chain. If you set the system up right, most of the time, the inventory flowed smoothly. But, the output had a lot to do with the input. We had a saying: garbage in, garbage out. Similarly, your work (output) is fueled by what you feed your brain (input). If you aren’t intentional, the algorithm will happily choose for you, keeping you stuck in cycles of outrage, noise, and distraction....
